I definitely want accumulating (I trust Einstein had it right with his quote on compounding) does T212 give you a break down of reinvestment’s as it’s not broken down on the specific stock into page like for instance Imperial Brands is. Or do you find this info out from an excluding source?
I take it you can decide which stocks you want distributing and which you want accumulating?
So did you weigh in on VFEM because your prefer it and it works for you? (Don’t answer it I’m being too nosey )
Not quite sure what you mean with the first part. The dividends are reinvested by Vanguard to keep the correct market index weight. I’m not sure there is a simple way for a retail investor to find out what exactly they purchase, but it would just be the market broadly speaking.
Yeah most of the funds have both accumulating and distributing options.
Well, I just hold the belief that emerging market growth may out pace western growth as many more people get lifted out of poverty. Population sizes are also a factor as India and China have over a billion each. Every country in the top 10 highest populated countries is an emerging market with the exception of United States (and maybe Russia). Honestly I have no idea though, people have been saying this for years and it still hasn’t really come true. Hence why it’s still a globally diverse portfolio.
Edit: The other counter argument to this is also: It’s the developed markets companies that will be the ones to capitalise on emerging market growth. We already see it with Apple, Nike, Nestle and countless others.
At the end of the day, I have no idea. I just put money in markets.
Further edit lol: It’s not that I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s just that you can’t know how these things are going to pan out. At the end of the day a move like this is just a bet. Another good tip actually, is to be very honest with yourself about why you are buying things.
Ah I see, it’s reinvested. Thanks that’s answered that question I had too.
Ha no it’s okay I understand what you mean, it’s totally impossible to answer any question’s I’ve asked with a true and definitive answer, yes/no, black/white. It’s totally changeable and subject to personal interpretation it’s just helpful to take advice from others with a longer life span in this field, I find it incredibly useful and find myself coming back to this thread time and time again.
Good tip too, you’re right money isn’t a toy and each investment for me needs to mean something.
I think you should pay attention in the underlying of the ETFs.
For example, FTSE All World ETF already has healthcare included. So if you buy another healthcare sector ETF, you’re going to overweight healthcare in your portfolio.
Just make sure to check before you invest! So you can make the best decisions!
Thank you, I decided to go with MSCI. Did lots of research on HL website and watched a few videos. It’s a gamble at the end of the day but I like that these are accumulative as so many are distributing. We’ll see
It’s such a mammoth task researching everything but glad I did.
If one of my stocks reached 50% it’s value and I traded out just £5 of the profit (Swing Trading it’s called isn’t it?) - how come the £5 isn’t physical cash and it’s showing +£1.66 and not £5?
I am not sure what the goal is, but stock per say isnt profit.
Or to phrase different, if you sell share, you have base price + profit. Profit being difference between Average price and Sell price.
So it is not “possible” to just sell 5 GBP profit, you have to sell base price which is return of investment…
Ps it wouldn’t be smart idea tax wise to be able to just pull 5 GBP profit, meaning in invest acc whole amount would be taxable. This way only 1.66 GBP is taxable
I think it was more a trail test, do it and see the outcome. I was told about swing trading but my own fault for not researching more and asking on here first (still it’s only a small mistake with a profit taken regardless, thankfully) One I know doesn’t work the way I thought it would.
Thank you for your help, now I fully understand. Another new thing learnt and it’s only just hit Monday afternoon
You can yes, but it needs to be done using a ISA Transfer form.
Only cash can be transferred, not open positions.
contact isa@trading212.com to get these forms and have them complete the process.
What a wild day on stocks today. Hello and welcome to the red Anyways…
Quick question - does anyone use a free dividend tracker? Or is there one that be linked to T212? I know you can check it daily etc but I’m building a spreadsheet for this specifically and wondered if there’s one out there that I can link to google finance or similar?

Anyways…
