Does a 50% DRIP strategy actually outperform?

Most investors think you have to choose between reinvesting everything… or taking the income.

But when I ran the numbers on BLOX, the results told a very different story.

In this video, I break down a full backtest comparing:

Full DRIP vs 50% DRIP vs no DRIP
Total return vs income taken
Portfolio growth over time
How different strategies impact long-term results

Because the real question isn’t just how much your portfolio pays…

It’s what happens to your money while you’re taking that income.

We’re not projecting or guessing — this is based on actual historical performance and how each strategy would have played out.

And depending on how you structure your DRIP strategy…

The same ETF can produce completely different outcomes.
