What to know before choosing
An distributing fund pays out company dividends to your account, while an accumulating fund automatically reinvests them. This isn't a difference in profitability, but in where the profit goes — and in taxes: each payout is taxed immediately, whereas with an accumulating fund, you only pay tax when you sell.
Hence a practical conclusion rarely mentioned in advertisements: for long-term capital building, an accumulating fund is usually more tax-efficient, while a distributing fund makes sense when you want to live off your portfolio. A separate issue is the settlement of tax on foreign payouts — these must be declared independently in your annual tax return.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy these funds through a Polish broker?
Yes — this is a catalog of funds listed on European exchanges, accessible from a typical Polish brokerage account. However, the availability of a specific fund depends on your broker, and it's worth checking before placing an order.
What's the difference between an accumulating and a distributing fund?
Accumulating funds reinvest dividends internally, while distributing funds pay them out to your account. For long-term saving, accumulating funds are usually more tax-efficient because you only pay tax when you sell.
Where can I check a fund's fees and holdings?
In the ETF scanner within the Portevo app — there, numbers (TER, holdings, performance, currency) are pulled live for the selected fund.
