MLI 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of MLI demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 23.2% CAGR, representing exceptional long-term performance. Recent 5-year performance has been particularly strong at 47.2% annually, outpacing the 10-year average. The DRIP strategy provided 18% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.
Total Return with and without DRIP (MLI)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in MLI would grow to $97,525 with DRIP (875.2%), and $80,917 without DRIP (709.2%).
MLI Dividend Reinvestment Snowball
Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in MLI with historic price growth (21.08%) and dividend growth (20.89%) 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 $7,735 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $1,926 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 $4,319, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $34,615 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 102% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 23.14%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $21,255 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $95,744.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $57,244, cumulative dividends total $260,549, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $6,394,456, compared with $5,282,953 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for MLI, price $106.47, dividend per period $0.25 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 21.08% and dividend growth 20.89% 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.
