While it is a significant part of most people's portfolios in terms of market cap, there is a lot more diversification available for 30-50% of people's portfolios in terms of small and medium caps, international exposure and investing beyond equities.
One is distributing, one is accumulating. I'd look up those terms - most long-term savers want the accumulating version. In terms of the fund itself, it is solely focused on the US stock market, which has of course been historically great, but you may decide you want to have a bit more diversity than that and take a fund that includes the rest of the world in some measure (e.g. a global tracker).
Would this (VUAG) be stocks and shares isa?… really basic follow up on this but say you put 20k into a VUAG IiSA for one year .. could you then in subsequent years put further 20k into the same pot I.e 40k in year 2. Sorry I know this is basic.
