INSIGHT

Power of DRIP Investing

  • DRIP investing compounds your wealth by automatically reinvesting dividends.
  • This creates a "double compounding" effect as dividends grow and buy more shares over time.
ADVICE

Start Automatic Dividend Reinvestment

  • Set up automatic dividend reinvestment with your broker to maximize compounding.
  • Even small dividend yields accumulate significantly over many years if reinvested.
ADVICE

Reinvest Dividends Incrementally

  • Reinvest dividends incrementally as they buy fractional shares over time.
  • Dividend growth increases the yield and accelerates the compounding effect.
