Unrealised gains v Total Gains
Hi all. Can someone please enlighten me. I have a big difference between these 2 figures. I have only been doing it since Feb 2026 98% of my money is in vwrp acc. Wondering why I have such a big difference? I have never sold anything, had 1p in dividends from a stock. Not sure if i would have had dividends from vwrp as only had since Feb 2026 and don't know how to find out as its acc fund. Any explanation will be great!!
Edit: I have found out the confusion is the free fractional shares i received value is taken as profit on trading 212 make it look like i have returned more percentage than I have!

This is definitely going to be one of those cases where a picture is worth a thousand words, so sharing a screenshot should help posters explain…

Picture will help, otherwise probably maths on small numbers - 1p is your realised gain, if total gain is £1 than it's 100x larger..
