I didn't get around to doing VDHF, but I did it for VDHG, one of your competitors.
And if you bought VDHG on the listing in 2017, you would have earned a total pre-tax return of about 9.4, which was roughly 50-50 capital and income.
But VDHG, since it's listed, did roughly 50% growth.
So 4.7%.
So if you had bought it on the listing, you would pay less tax under the new system.
And you still defer the capital gain tax until you sell.
That's important.
