Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)

Definition of Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)

A Dividend Reinvestment Plan is a feature where an investor can reinvest the dividends they earn to buy additional shares or units of a mutual fund, either fractional or whole.

Stocks and mutual funds offer Dividend Reinvestment Plans. As a result of reinvesting dividends, investors can add more money to their existing holdings for better compounding. That said, dividends that are reinvested are taxable.
