Help me understand this fund: Vanguard FTSE 100 UCITS (VUKE)

[Phooey]

I think I'm right in assuming this ETF pays dividends.. Does the performance chart include the dividends (reinvested) and if so, when buying this fund (direct through Vanguard) are dividends automatically reinvested?

I'm just trying to compare something like a FTSE 100 ETF to the likes of Vanguards LifeStrategy (80) to include into Mrs Phooey's ISA - contributing a monthly amount for a period of 10+yrs.

Cheers

Yes it pays dividends:

Should be equivalent return to holding the underlying stocks in the FTSE100 directly.

That chart doesn’t show the whole return, nor does the FTSE100 index return. There are FTSE100 total return charts out there though.

I make monthly payments in equal amounts to the Vanguard LifeStrategy 80% Equity Fund and Vanguard LifeStrategy 60% Equity Fund - my preference is for a 70:30 split between shares and bonds - within an ISA. Dividends accumulate in both.

The link below is (I think) the total return index.
