Vanguard VUSA vs VUAG Which Fund Is Better?!

00:00 VUAG or VUSA?!

One of the most popular Vanguard UK index funds is the Vanguard VUSA S&P500 ETF, but whilst many investors have heard of this fund, not many have heard of the Vanguard VUAG S&P500. Two funds that sound very similar, but both are slightly different, so in today’s video we’re going to explore the detail behind both and decide which is the best Vanguard index fund to invest in.

01:13 Things You Should Know

When you’re investing in stock market trackers like the Index Funds which you see over on Vanguard, its wise to know about the fund holdings and the fund fees. Both of which for the VUAG and VUSA are pretty much identical.

04:40 How The Funds Are Different

The main difference between the Vanguard VUSA and Vanguard VUAG is the way in which they treat their dividends. One fund is an accumulating fund and the other is a distributing fund. Meaning, one pays a dividend to your bank account, the other reinvests it back into your investment portfolio, so which is the best fund to invest in?

08:02 Which One I Invest In

For me personally, I invest in the Vanguard VUSA S&P500 ETF. Yes I have to reinvest my dividends manually, but it does me that when i’m in a position to actually draw an income from my portfolio, my dividends can be paid straight into my bank account, rather than me having to periodically sell a portion of my holdings on a quarterly basis.
