A listing currency is the currency of the exchange trade. It does not establish currency hedging or the currencies of the underlying businesses. No investor currency or exchange rate is assumed here.

OCF and TER are the issuer’s reported cost measures, shown under their original labels. They exclude some costs and are not a quote for your broker. Spreads, dealing/FX charges, liquidity, fund-level withholding and investor tax remain outside this comparison.

What changes between these choices

VUKE and VUKG both track FTSE 100 rather than a global index. Both London listings trade in GBP and the fund base currency is GBP. VUKE pays quarterly distributions; VUKG reinvests them. This policy choice does not remove UK equity concentration.

Holding both versions does not add a second benchmark exposure. Cash distributions, reinvestment timing and account treatment matter; counting two tickers is not a measure of diversification.

A cost-only illustration

Fictional €10,000 starting balance, zero gross return, no contributions or withdrawals, the quoted annual charge held constant for 20 years. This isolates the charge; it does not forecast either fund’s return.

VUKE: First-year charge at a constant balance: 9.00 EUR; Balance after 20 years: 9,821.53 EUR; Difference from no charges: 178.47 EUR

VUKG: First-year charge at a constant balance: 9.00 EUR; Balance after 20 years: 9,821.53 EUR; Difference from no charges: 178.47 EUR

Method: first year = 10,000 × charge; final balance = 10,000 × (1 − charge)^20. No tax, spreads, trading fees or FX conversion. Equal quoted charges give equal results in this restricted illustration.
