      Dear Amit, just a small addition to all the discussion, all these things are valid only if the funds in question are Eq. funds. If the fund is a debt fund, the return ‘ll not be same as Debt funds are liable to Dividend Distribution Tax & thus reducing the over all return in comparison to Growth option over the long term.

      Thanks

   Just to add to what wUc said –

   MF schmes have two options – Growth and Dividend.
   Dividend is declared only for the Dividend option not for growth.
   Under dividend:
   a) You can get a payout of the dividend
   b) You can reinvest the dividend

   If you reinvest the long term accruals/values are the same.

   Find comments inline – wUc
   Thanks for your detailed reply… Most of my doubts are clear… I have couple of questions for you…

   1. Is divident declear for Growth Plan & Divident Re-investment same?

   wUc comments – YES

   2. If yes, then if NAV today for Growth Plan is 100 & Divident Re-investment Plan is 50, I have done investment of Rs. 10000
   So for Growth Plan I got 100 Units & for Divident Re-investment Plan I got 200 Units.
   Now, company declears Rs. 5 devident per unit. In this case Divident Re-investment is Winner… right?

   wUc comments- No you thought process is wrong. 1000 rs invested in what ever option (growth/dividend/re-investment) after X years will have the same yield.
   Meaning in case of growth you will get lumpcum when you sell.. in case of dividend you need to add all the money that you have got as divided + value at selling.

   Dividend reinvestment and growth options theoretically have the same return over any period of time assuming there are no other charges/levies.

   Lets take bulk investment example.

   NAV today for both Growth and Dividend reinvestment option = 10
   Amount invested = 5000
   So units alloted = 500

   After few months:
   Assume NAV = 12
   Dividend paid = 2
   So, actual Dividend paid = 2*500=1000

   NAV of Growth = Still at 12
   Value of growth scheme = 12*500 = 6000

   NAV of Dividend Reinvestment = 10 (falls to the extent of Dividend)
   Dividend of 1000 is reinvested
   So you get 1000/10 = 100 fresh units
   So the holder now has 500+100 = 600 units
   NAV = 10
   So, value of Dividend reinvestment option = 600*10 = 6000

   As you see, both are same.

   Differences:
   1) The dividend of 1000 invested is considered as fresh investment and you will need to wait for 1 year from that invested date to make it eligible for Long term gains
   2) If in future you need a steady cashflow you can change the dividend reinvestment to payout so you may get paid the dividend periodically if the scheme does so.

   Trust this clarifies.
