2. The Changing Landscape of DRIPS and DSPPS
The history
A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) is an equity investment option offered directly from the underlying company. The investor does not receive quarterly dividends directly as cash; instead, the investor's dividends are directly reinvested in the underlying equity.
A direct stock purchase plan (DSPP) is an investment service that allows individuals to purchase a stock directly from a company or through a transfer agent. Not all companies offer DSPPs, and the plans often have restrictions on when an individual can purchase shares.
