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

Yes it pays dividends but as you have the Acc class they are not paid out to your cash account, they are simply retained within the fund and increase the unit price.

If you held the Inc class then on the ex Dividend Date (1 April 2022) the dividends would be removed from the fund (and its unit price would decrease) and they would be paid out to you on the Payment Date (28 May 2022)

Using Acc units saves you the bother (and possible expense) of reinvesting them yourself

No. They are continuously 'accumulated' throughout the year, possibly daily, as they are distributed by the underlying companies

If you could set one up you'd get bored of it pretty quickly.

If you’re holding it in an ISA or SIPP thus is not a problem if you have it in an General Investment Account then you need to know your dividends for your tax return.
