Question about Vanguard Account Balance
My accounts are all set to automatically reinvest dividends. While on my vanguard, does "Purchases and Withdrawals" Include both money I have added to my account, as well as dividends reinvested? Or just the money I have added without including dividends into the equation?
Re: Question about Vanguard Account Balance
If you click the Table button on the Personal Performance page, you'll see a month-by-month list of the amounts of "purchases and withdrawals." From that list, you'll see that reinvested dividends do not affect that number. Withdrawn dividends count as withdrawals (negative amount in the "purchases and withdrawals" column).
It's certainly an interesting table to examine: it puts recent losses in perspective.
