    Sorry I'm getting confused

    That is itself confusing :D

    Do you mean;

    1. You were mistaken and realised UK based US funds didn't fall?
    2. You do think they fell and are confused by the answers?
    3. You dont think they fell but are still confused by the answers?
    4. Something else?

    :D

    And are they announcing their confusion, or just apologising for it?

    Another scenario. The fund does not hold all the stocks in the index just a representative sample. Around 92.5%. Banks in general were in the red yesterday. Despite the index as a whole rising. JP Morgan was biggest faller on the day ( down .91%) . This is Vanguards 8th largest holding so may have influenced the fund price on the day.
