What do you do with your dividend income from WealthSimple?
Asked 4 years ago
WealthSimple doesn't do DRIPs, so I'm not sure if I should manually reinvest the income I've received from my quarterly dividends. Is it maybe better to withdraw them to my account even though the amount is insignificant?

I have two brokerage accounts: one for WealthSimple (short-term investing) and TD (long-term investing). I'm mostly a dividends investor at TD.
For the stocks I hold at WealthSimple that do pay a dividend, I will do one of three things:
- Add it to my overall cash holdings (always have sizeable cash to employ when the timing is right).
- Use the returns to purchase more shares in the stock (if the price is right).
- Transfer the amount to my bank account and deposit it into a retirement savings account.
It all depends on how much you receive each month or quarter.
