Frequently Asked Questions
What is DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment)?
DRIP stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Instead of receiving cash dividends, they are automatically used to purchase additional shares. Over time, this creates a compounding effect that can significantly increase your total returns.
What is the Payback Ratio?
The Payback Ratio shows what percentage of your total invested capital has been recovered through cumulative after-tax dividends. When it reaches 100%, your entire investment has been "paid back" by dividends alone — your remaining shares are essentially free assets.
How does the tax setting work?
Korean investors can choose between different account types: General (15.4% dividend tax), ISA (tax-free up to a limit, 9.9% on excess), Pension/IRP (tax-deferred). For US stocks, a 15% withholding tax applies under the US-Korea tax treaty.
What is Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)?
Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR) represents the expected annual increase in dividend payments. For example, if a stock pays $1.00 this year and has a 5% dividend growth rate, it would pay $1.05 next year. This growth compounds over time, significantly boosting your income.
