What is a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (D.R.I.P.)?
Dividend Reinvestment Plan is a plan offered by a corporation that allows investors to reinvest their cash dividends by purchasing additional shares or fractional shares on the dividend payment date. Then the next time the dividend is issued you have more shares, so your dividend is higher, and you reinvest more, thus gaining more shares. This is called compounding and it is an excellent way to increase the value of your investment.
Example:
If you purchased 1,000 shares of a stock for $10 per share with a total investment cost of $10,000; your stock started with an annual yield of 8% yield payable monthly and you plan to hold this investment for 1 year and reinvest the dividends.
You started with $10,000.00 and will end up with $10830.00 for a total gain of 8.30%. This was over 1 year so that makes your average annual gain 8.30%.
