  • It's important to understand how DPPs work and their risks before reaping the benefits. Learn about what DPPs are to see if becoming involved is the right choice.

A Direct Participation Program (DPP) is an investment vehicle that allows individuals to directly invest in and participate in the income, tax benefits, and losses of specific business ventures, typically real estate, energy, or equipment leasing.
