If you are talking OEICs or equivalent, then more often than not there will be at least two classes of units. A standard designation is that "Income" or "Distribution" units show the price with dividends and other income distributed, whilst "Accumulation" units show the price inclusive of dividends etc.
To be more clear, Alaric, me and Simon are both referring to a specific Fid Pension fund claiming to be a "dividend fund". It's difficult to share that much more detail on the (damn) thing, since it's description is in a PDF which is a complete dog to copy n paste. If possible one of us could email you the .pdf file, since I'm sure you'd be a lot more knowledgeable than anyone at Fidelity who is allowed near an actual customer!!
