I am currently looking to invest in some ETF exchange traded funds, The ishares UKdividend plus (IUKD)seems to tick the right boxes. It is a high yielding fund that invests in the top50 dividend yielding stocks of the ftse350 (250 and 100), as matter of due course I used google finance to compare it ishares FTSE100 index fund (ISF) which pretty much tracks the FTSE100 exactly, and the result is the index won over time.

However the IUKD will be yielding more then the ISF, each dividend is published on the ishares website, what i'd like to know is can I compare both of these or any others, with each of them having dividend reinvested, using free websites, all information is out there but I don't fancy number crunching every comparison esp as these ETF pay out dividends quarterly.

Yahoo finance is very good for historical info, daily prices highs low and dividends even volumes, but charting/valuations with the dividend reinvested is not available, is this beyond the means of the free internet? If so any reasonably priced software available for this?

Thanks
