RLI 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of RLI demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 12.3% CAGR, representing strong long-term performance. Dividend payments have grown from $0.1600 to $1.0950 per share, reflecting the 5.4% annual dividend growth rate. The DRIP strategy provided 20% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.
Total Return with and without DRIP (RLI)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in RLI would grow to $44,832 with DRIP (348.3%), and $37,548 without DRIP (275.5%).
RLI Dividend Reinvestment Snowball
Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in RLI with historic price growth (7.75%) and dividend growth (-17.50%) 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 $805 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $18 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 $9, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $886 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 3% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 0.02%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $2 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $905.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $1, cumulative dividends total $913, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $234,950, compared with $230,089 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for RLI, price $59.55, dividend per period $0.16 (4×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 7.75% and dividend growth -17.50% 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.
