Most investors look upon mutual funds as a long-term investment and an automatic reinvestment plan is a simple way of keeping profits constantly working in the fund. An automatic reinvestment plan makes reinvesting capital gains and dividends simple and automatic and many investors would rather use an automatic reinvestment plan for gains and dividends rather than take profits out of a fund. The simplicity and automatic nature of an automatic reinvestment plan makes them perfect for many investors.
