A dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) is an equity investment option offered directly from the underlying company. The investor does not receive dividends directly as cash; instead, the investor's dividends are directly reinvested in the underlying equity. This article will show you how to process DRP's in Class.

We recommend you firstly automatically load all the fund's income entitlements using Generate Income and then process any relevant Dividend Reinvestment Plan they participate in using the process below. If the investment is unlisted you will need to manually create the income events by referring to this article.
