1 An Income (distributing) version of this fund is also available, which pays dividends out to you rather than reinvesting them. About this table: For each index, this table includes the most popular global funds, plus - where available - the lowest fee option, the largest by assets under management, and the Vanguard version. Only funds with an ongoing fee of 0.30% or below are included. All funds listed are denominated in GBP. Where available, the Accumulation version of a fund is listed. All funds use physical replication (full or sampling) - they hold the underlying stocks directly.
