Dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP)


Recommended Posts

Guest Invis

Hello IG Community,

Can anyone advise - is it possible to set up automatic divided reinvestment on normal share dealing accounts and stocks and shares ISAs on IG and if so how would I do this?

Thanks for your help!

I would like IG to have dividends dripping program? Is that possible? 

I am am a long term accumulation investor. My portfolio is in millions. My Portfolio IG is only 3.5% of overall. The primary reason is the lack of DRIP. I don't care if they do or don't, other than I hate waste and commercial stupidity, obviously many do want it. In the meantime just Invest in II, or Halifax, it's included and cheap.

I agree with all the above sentiments.  I've used several brokers before, such as ii, Halifax, etc. I assumed ALL online brokers and investment platforms included automated DRIP.  Shocked that IG do not!  Even more surprised at their complacency in not responding to this thread.

Hi there,

Please could you explain why dividend reinvestment is not offered, and why there has been no update since the admin post on 20 Nov 2019.

I'd like an update on this too. I'm going to have to move my shares to another broker specifically for this reason.

Hey all, 

There's a team currently working to add a dividend reinvestment plan. We don't have a time frame yet but I will update you. 

All the best

DRP should be made available on priority as it’s such a basic feature. IG would risk losing customers if this doesn’t happen at the earliest !

It is funny that the IG website gives a definition about DRIP but does not offer it at the moment 
https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/support/glossary-investment-terms/dividend-reinvestment-definition

I like the platform but was surprised to see there was no option to reinvest Dividends after I signed up. Also would have thought since Jan 25th they may have been able to have come up with a solution by now.

Hi @Rawly,

IG is aware that it is an option that clients would like to see. I will forward your feedback to the relevant department to be reviewed.

Thank you - Arvin

Dear IG, 

Has there been any progress on providing a DRIP feature? 

This has been waiting an exceptionally long time, can we please recieve an ETA or a confirmation that the feature will not be provided. The current lack of response is leaving people in a constant state of limbo. This will trigger people to move to alternative providers due to lack of transparency.

Regards 

Pearse

How on earth is this still under review after almost 3 years?!

IG - please either give a proper update with an expected timeline for when this feature will be offered, or be honest and say that nothing is forthcoming.

Thanks

Hi @pmcguinness07 @Lambchops,

Unfortunately at this point in time there is no ETA for DRIP to be available on the platform. As mentioned IG is aware that it is a feature that some clients would like to see but there is no ETA.

All the best - Arvin

Wave Cancel invalid level:  1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis for the Daily Chart explores the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar using the Elliott Wave framework. This analysis provides a structured view of the market trends, focusing on counter-trend waves and their implications for traders and analysts.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Counter Trend," suggesting that the observed wave patterns represent a phase that moves against the prevailing longer-term trend. This could imply a corrective movement within a broader trend, indicating a temporary reversal or consolidation before the primary trend resumes.   ### Mode The mode is categorized as "Impulsive as A," indicating that the current wave structure represents an impulsive move typically found at the beginning of a new wave cycle. This mode generally suggests a strong, directional movement, often indicating the initial stages of a larger trend shift.   ### Structure The structure is noted as "red wave 3," highlighting an impulsive wave that typically denotes a continuation of a broader trend. Red wave 3 within this context could signify a strong push in the counter-trend direction.   ### Position The position in the Elliott Wave sequence is "blue wave A," indicating that the observed pattern is part of an impulsive phase. This position often aligns with a larger correction within a broader trend, suggesting that the current impulsive phase is still part of a counter-trend movement.   ### Direction for the Next Higher Degrees The anticipated direction for the next higher degrees is "blue wave 4," indicating that once the current wave completes, the structure will likely transition to a corrective phase. Blue wave 4 typically represents a temporary retracement within a broader impulsive pattern.   ### Details The analysis specifies that red wave 2 of wave A completed at 1.17096, with red wave 3 now in play. This implies that the current impulsive wave is expected to continue, potentially leading to a broader counter-trend movement. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, indicating a critical threshold. If the price crosses this level, it would invalidate the current wave structure, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the Daily Chart describes a counter-trend movement with an impulsive mode, focusing on red wave 3 within blue wave A. The structure is expected to continue its impulsive trend, with a Wave Cancel invalid level serving as a key point for determining if the current analysis remains valid.         GBPUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     British Pound/U.S.Dollar(GBPUSD) 4 Hour Chart   GBPUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend                               MODE: corrective                           STRUCTURE: black wave 2                           POSITION: red wave 3                               DIRECTION NEXT LOWER DEGREES: black wave 3                             DETAILS: black wave of 2 is in play and likely to end between fib level 50.00 to 61.80 . Wave Cancel invalid level: 1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart provides insights into the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar within the framework of Elliott Wave Theory. This analysis helps traders understand the underlying wave structure and anticipate potential market movements.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Trend," indicating that the overall market movement aligns with a broader trend. In this case, the trend reflects a continuation pattern where market waves are forming in a way that aligns with the primary direction of the trend.   ### Mode The mode is labeled as "corrective," suggesting that the current wave structure represents a correction within a larger trend. Corrective modes typically signify a temporary pullback or consolidation, indicating that the price is currently in a counter-trend phase.   ### Structure The structure in this analysis is specified as "black wave 2," which represents an intermediate-level correction. This wave generally appears within a larger trend to correct an earlier impulsive movement, signaling a potential retracement before the larger trend resumes.   ### Position The position in the wave pattern is "red wave 3," indicating that the corrective structure is situated within a broader Elliott Wave framework. Red wave 3 represents a key point in the corrective phase, suggesting an ongoing retracement that could lead to a shift in trend direction.   ### Direction for the Next Lower Degrees The expected direction for the next lower degrees is indicated as "black wave 3." This suggests that once the correction completes, the wave pattern will likely transition to a more impulsive phase, potentially indicating a continuation of the broader trend.   ### Details The analysis details that black wave 2 is currently in play and is expected to conclude between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci retracement levels. This range often indicates a common end for corrective waves, signifying a potential turning point in the trend. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, suggesting that if the price crosses this point, the current wave structure is invalidated, requiring a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart describes a trend with a corrective mode, indicating that black wave 2 is nearing completion, with a potential transition to a more impulsive black wave 3. The end of this correction between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci levels might suggest the resumption of the primary trend, with a critical invalidation point to consider for risk management.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
