This analysis of BEN demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment.

With DRIP No DRIP

Total Return with and without DRIP (BEN)

Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in BEN would grow to $18,082 with DRIP (80.8%), and $15,497 without DRIP (55.0%).

BEN Dividend Reinvestment Snowball

Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in BEN with historic price growth (-4.69%) and dividend growth (6.25%) produces dramatically different outcomes depending on whether you reinvest dividends.

Milestones on the way

By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $43,652 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $12,272 per year in dividends alone.

By year 17, the annual dividend climbs to around your initial contribution. For a starting investment of $10,000, the yearly dividend now sits at approximately $48,291, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $414,340 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 1,219% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 546.75%.

At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $4,610,307 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $5,957,459.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $726,088,110, cumulative dividends total $528,302,223, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $505,727,046, compared with $262,695 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for BEN, price $23.90, dividend per period $0.33 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth -4.69% and dividend growth 6.25% annually.

We simulate month by month for 30 years. Every month, a $100 contribution is added and converted to shares at that month’s price. Dividends are paid roughly evenly across the year based on the dividend frequency; in the DRIP path, each payout immediately buys additional shares at the then-current price. In the No-DRIP path, dividends accrue as cash. Prices grow using a monthly rate derived from the annual price growth. Dividends per share increase once per year at the annual dividend growth rate.

This model isn’t investment advice; it’s a simple, transparent framework that illustrates how reinvesting dividends can accelerate both income and total return over time.

Projected Future Returns & Dividends for BEN

Based on past 10-year performance, here are BEN growth metrics:

Share price CAGR of +6.00%
