Dan Egan, VP of Behavioral Finance and Investing, explains the benefits of automated dividend reinvestment.
If you've ever invested, you probably have noticed that occasionally you get dividends.
Your stock pays it out.
You get that as cash in your account, and it usually sits there until you remember
that you're supposed to buy something else with it to reinvest it back.
Automated dividend reinvestment makes that effortless and seamless.
When dividends come into your account, we automatically reinvest available dividends,
not necessarily into where they came from, but into whatever would serve your portfolio best.
So automated dividend reinvestment keeps you invested and keeps your portfolio in balance.

Investing involves risk, performance not guaranteed.
