The paper presents a method for determining the optimal timing for completing an equity investment. We assume a fixed interest rate, and the possibility of annual deposits and withdrawals from the account equity investment. We assume the size of the initial and final capital, the latter of which is larger (we are interested in return on investment). An additional assumption about the size of the balance of payments and withdrawals is an easier solution. Our task is to minimise the time needed to achieve the desired level of capital for the final. A solution to this problem and uses of a practical example of the calculated minimum time for completion of the location of capital are provided.
