Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you help me to understand ZCS.L - accumulating units - ie. the nature and merits of " accumulating units ".
From the BMO web-site , this ETF appears to be identical to ZCS -their S/T Corporate Bond ETF except that distributions are made only annually .
Is this correct ?
Is this the only difference ?
For someone who does not need / want the income from ZCS's monthly distribution but just some FI allocation , is this a better option ?
Chart suggests so .
And would it also be a better option in this respect than HBB which makes no distributions but has a much longer ( undesired ) duration ?
Thank-you for the clarifications
