Ireland (IE)Answered from the same data and calculations used above.
No — SPDR S&P 400 U.S. Mid Cap UCITS ETF (Acc) (MDUC) is an accumulating share class, so dividends received from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund instead of being paid out. You realise that income as capital growth when you sell, which in many jurisdictions defers the tax event rather than triggering one each distribution.
SPDR S&P 400 U.S. Mid Cap UCITS ETF (Acc) (MDUC) is domiciled in Ireland (IE). A Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund receives US dividends at a 15% treaty withholding rate inside the fund, versus the 30% statutory rate on dividends paid directly to a non-resident (generally 25% for an Indian resident under the India-US treaty with a valid W-8BEN). The fund-level 15% is deducted before NAV and is not reclaimable by you. Its shares also sit outside US estate tax, which applies to US-situs assets above $60,000 for non-resident aliens.
SPDR S&P 400 U.S. Mid Cap UCITS ETF (Acc) (MDUC) tracks the S&P 400 MidCap. Any fund tracking the same index gives you materially the same exposure, so cost, size and share class are usually what separate the alternatives, not the strategy.
Over the measured window MDUC showed annualised volatility of about 13.4% and a worst peak-to-trough fall of 6.2%. Volatility describes the size of a typical swing; the drawdown is what actually happened at the worst moment, and it is the number worth checking you could have held through.
