## Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIP)

A DRIP automatically uses dividend payments to purchase additional shares, creating a compounding effect.

### How Compounding Amplifies Returns

- **Without DRIP**: Growth from price appreciation only
- **With DRIP**: Growth from price appreciation PLUS reinvested dividends buying more shares, which themselves generate more dividends

### Formula

**With DRIP = Investment x (1 + Yield + Growth)^Years**

**Without DRIP = Investment x (1 + Growth)^Years**

The difference widens dramatically over longer time periods.

Exemple Résolu

$10,000 invested in a stock with 3% dividend yield and 5% price growth for 20 years.

  1. Total return with DRIP = 3% + 5% = 8%
  2. With DRIP: $10,000 x (1.08)^20 = $46,610
  3. Without DRIP: $10,000 x (1.05)^20 = $26,533
  4. DRIP advantage = $46,610 - $26,533 = $20,077
  5. Reinvesting dividends nearly doubled the investment outcome
