Royal Dutch Shell DRIP Details:
Shell's dividend reinvestment plan allows investors to make an initial investment through the stock plan to purchase their RDS.A ADS shares traded on the NYSE. We see the stock investment plan as a poor long term holding vehicle with its $10 account setup fee, $5 investment fee, and dividend reinvestment dees. For nearly all investors we believe a low cost brokerage like Sharebuilder will be your lowest cost holding vehicle for your Royal Dutch Shell investment.
Pros:
None
Cons:
$10 account setup fee
$5 optional cash purchase fee
$5 automatic investment fee
Dividend reinvestment fees
