The app said I had received a dividend for LGEN, all of the stock is within a pie. However, I see no pie cash or an auto investment of the dividend, where has it gone?

I do have auto invest switch on and it was on at the start of the pie’s creation.

We covered that in another thread. You can check my reply below 👇

> [@Pie autoreinvest](https://community.trading212.com/t/pie-autoreinvest/62105/3):

> If you received a dividend payment from your pie’s holdings, those funds will remain in the cash portion of your pie until they are reinvested. Below are the scenarios in which the pie cash will be reinvested 👇
> 
> - When the cash in your pie should surpass the ‘threshold’.
> - During an AutoInvest event - all free cash inside the pie will be swiped up and invested along with the freshly deposited funds.
> - During a ‘Manual Invest’ event - all free cash sitting inside the pie will be swiped up and invested along with the freshly contributed funds.

It is a bit confusing, I have dividend payments on stocks that were in a pie but because auto-invest is knocked off they went to my free funds account. Now I have one in the same pie and the funds are in the pie’s “Total Gains” account.  
So does this mean it’s just telling me the gains from that pie but the money went into free funds?  
Or is the money in the pies funds and I need to re-invest using that pie or, can I release it into my free funds somehow?

I have imported an investment to another pie with dividends auto reinvest active. Few days ago I received a dividend payment related to that investment but the dividend was transferred to cash account instead of the pie account and wasn’t counted on dividends gained in the pie.

I had to reinvest manually the dividends. Why this happened?

Thank you
