Morning,
I inherited the fund but am more of an IT person so I worked out the difference that it makes which I hold.
I already had a spreadsheet for the fund showing dividend reinvestment and XIRR so I did the same for the IT.
I took the same initial investment sum, minus £10 commission and 0.5% stamp
Looked up the prices at dividend payment dates and reinvested them at 2% commission inc. stamp
It's only since February 2015 but so far the difference in XIRR is 0.5% in favour of the trust. For me this works out at £56 so not worth the trouble and possible Tax incurred to swap.
Might be a consideration if I have some CGT headroom at the end of the year.
I knew I preferred trusts!
