WAL 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of WAL demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 14.8% CAGR, representing strong long-term performance. The DRIP strategy provided 19% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.
Total Return with and without DRIP (WAL)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in WAL would grow to $26,192 with DRIP (161.9%), and $24,985 without DRIP (149.9%).
WAL Dividend Reinvestment Snowball

Milestones on the way
By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $6,688 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $890 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 $1,180, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $14,554 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 43% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 4.21%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $1,929 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $22,736.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $2,545, cumulative dividends total $33,629, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $311,289, compared with $253,875 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for WAL, price $70.32, dividend per period $0.38 (4×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 7.71% and dividend growth 4.28% 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.
