It doesn't matter. I used to have an automatic payroll deduction each pay period to fund my Roth but now I just do it all at one time, it's just easier.
I don't know much about any of these funds, basically you should look for as low an expense ratio as you can.

There are a lot of people that like to dollar cost average but I usually just put the entire amount in at once. It's always fun to watch the bank account drop 11K in January.

If you think the market will go up throughout 2015, put all in at once. If you think the market will go down throughout 2015, spread it out to dollar cost average the lower prices.

I try to pay a year's contributions up front if I can. However, I am DCA $250 twice a month into my Roth for 2015 until it's maxed. Either that, or I will pay off the remaining balance when I get a little more money in my pocket.

You can put the whole amount into your account in one day if you'd like to not mess with that monthly.
As far as investing in particular funds, I'd always DCA. You can set up automatic buys with most brokerages from your money market account.

How do I go about starting my own Roth or transfering an existing account. I've been having one a few years now with Edward Jones. I really like my guy and like that I can go to him when I have questions, if I ever need.. but there's no need for me to be giving away money that I could be investing.
Do I start my own and just leave my account with him as it is, without making anymore contributions?!
