Yes, from what I understand, the fund internally re-invests dividends of companies within the fund that pay dividends, but does not pay-out dividends to investors, nor re-invest those dividends marked for investors to purchase more of itself.

Agreed. No payout of dividends to investors.
I don't understand the part I put in bold.

Ah, what I meant was that, since the eMaxis Slim fund does not pay dividends, it also does not have the ability to use the dividends to buy more of its own shares (DRiP?).
