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.

Any news here? I will probably give up and move the shares I hold elsewhere soon as IG seem remotely uniterested in this

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

    • When I first came across SWGT on Bitget, the "For Life" and "For Work" initiatives immediately grabbed my attention. As someone who's interested in both blockchain technology and sustainability, the idea of using blockchain to create a more efficient and eco-friendly transportation and logistics system is incredibly exciting.   SWGT being the key to this ecosystem makes it a compelling investment for me. By supporting SWGT on Bitget, I feel like I'm not just adding a token to my portfolio, but also contributing to a project with real-world impact. It'll be interesting to see how SWG Global Ltd develops these initiatives, and I'm glad to be among the early adopters
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for wave (3) Position - Wave 1 of (3) Direction - Wave 1 of (3) is still in play Details - Wave 1 extends lower. No signs of a bullish correction yet. Still anticipating wave 2 to begin but first confirmation is expected above 1133’6. Since late May 2024, Soybean prices have declined by over 12%, resuming the long-term sell-off that began in June 2022. The price has retraced completely from the recovery phase between late February and May 2024, after breaking below 1129. This breakdown suggests that Soybean prices will likely continue to fall in the coming weeks. However, a rebound may occur soon to correct the current decline from May.   On the daily chart, the price is following an A-B-C (circled) pattern in the primary degree. Wave A started in June 2022 at 1785 and ended with a diagonal at 1249 in October 2023. Wave B then followed, finishing at 1398 in November 2023, marking the beginning of the current wave C. Since November 2023, Wave C has been developing into an impulse wave. Wave (1) of C was completed at 1129 in late February 2024, followed by a corrective bounce for wave (2) that reached 1258 in May 2024. From the May 2024 high, wave (3) has been unfolding and could extend to the 891-829 range. Currently, the price is nearing the completion of wave 1 of (3), and a pullback for wave 2 is expected to begin soon.   On the H4 chart, wave 1 is finishing an impulse wave structure, though no reversal signs are present yet. The fifth sub-wave of wave 1 is also completing an impulse, indicating that wave 1 is close to completion. A corrective bounce for wave 2 is anticipated to emerge, especially if there is a bullish reaction above 1133. After wave 2 concludes, the dominant bearish trend is expected to resume with wave 3 of (3). Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • APECOIN's narrative of a determined ape reaching the moon is an interesting concept. While crypto projects are typically focused on technology or finance, a few explore storytelling and community engagement through narratives.  APECOIN goes beyond a simple meme with its narratives like Community Building, which the "ape" story could potentially create a strong and engaged community around the project. Open to Interpretation, such as the narrative of determination and reaching the moon is open to interpretation, allowing for individual meaning and connection. So, is APECOIN the ultimate example of a story-driven crypto project because it got listed on Bitget? Maybe or maybe not. What do you think? Is APECOIN's narrative a breath of fresh air in crypto, or just a gimmick? Have you explored any other story-driven crypto projects? Share your thoughts in the comments!
