    A few people have mentioned VEVE as a potential fund but I would recommend VHVG over this for long term investing. They are the same fund, but VEVE distributes any dividends to you whereas VHVG reinvests them to help grow your investments.

    And I believe if held outwith an ISA/SIPP those rolled up dividends count towards your dividend allowance and need to be adjusted for capital gains if the product is sold. I think in your general account VHVG is an admin chore. I hold it in my SIPP mind with a dash of VFEG for emerging markets.
