hi everyone,

here in Germany one can invest in funds that pay out winnings or one
one can invest in funds that reivest their dividends.

Are funds in the states that reivest their dividends called DRIPS?

Just windering,
John

DRIPS are not funds that reinvest dividends, but rather plans run by
individual companies whereby your dividends are automatically
reinvested in more shares of the same company's stock. The important
feature of a DRIP is the fact that these dividends are reinvested at no
cost or negligible cost. You are dealing directly with the company
rather than through the intermediary of a broker. Usually you can also
buy additional shares of stock in the same company without brokerage
fees. Buy cutting out the middleman and related fees, these features in
the long run can result in substantial savings.
