It looks like MSCI World really starts to pull ahead from the middle of 2016......I wonder what happened around that time which could affect ex-UK investments in such a positive way....

Incidentally, how did you find that MSCI World on Trustnet's charting tool......it's not listed under indices (I only have the free account though)

Most are here if you hover over each one and set up the code on a chart..

EG..

Others

NM990100  MSCI world.
NM990200  MSCI North America
NM990300  MSCI EAFE 
NM892400 MSCI ACWI
NM664204 MSCI ACWI IMI
NKOBN FTSE Global All Cap

Funds etc...from " Explore further with Interactive charting " the code is FLSX3 for Fundsmith Equity T.
Now you can set up your portfolio in bookmarks and compare with benchmarks.

Can I ask a quick question here rather than setting up a new thread 

I recently put money in a VGLS60 and it basically it’s just a case of leaving the money there and waiting to see what happens - so I don’t really know Much about how these things work

So what I would like to know is - does this fund pay me dividends? and if so, how often - mine is the accumulation kind of fund 

probably a dumb question but I just don’t know!

Accumulation funds do not pay out dividends, they reinvest them.

ranciduk

I get that 

so how often do these dividends get added to your fund?

Whenever one of the underlying assets pays a dividend it is added to the fund.

This fund holds a selection of other Vanguard funds, which in turn hold underlying assets i.e. equities and bonds.
As you have bought the accumulation version, the dividends will be collected by the fund and used to buy more of the underlying investments.
This also happens in the income fund, however once a year they work out how much should be paid out as a dividend from the fund and sell the required number of investments to generate sufficient cash to pay that dividend.

ranciduk

Awesome!

thanks guys

do you get some sort of notification when these dividends get accumulated?
