Vanguard - Reinvesting Dividends

In my GIA with Vanguard I'm trying to change settings so any dividends are reinvested automatically.
However the only options I have are....
- Leave as cash in my investments account
- Pay to my bank account.
Is there no option with Vanguard to automatically reinvest ?
Thanks

I had to do a section 104 capital gains tax calculation for someone that had reinvested dividends covering 47 transactions. Not a lot of fun. As you are in a GIA, section 104 will apply to you.
You may find it easier to use the yield to buy a different fund or just stick to once a year rebalancing on the cash float.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

Oh right, what happens if it's put in an ISA as opposed to a GIA ?0 -

But how do I make sure any dividends are reinvested and accumulated rather than paid out to bank account or stored as cash ?0 -
