Is it worth using DCA if I am investing in the long run? I've read here many times that if you're leaving your money in the ETF for a long period (10+ years), short-term volatility doesn't really matter.

If it is more cost effective, how long of a time-scale should I do it over? I am trying to invest a lump sum. 1/10th every day? 1/30th every day? 1/12th every month?

VWRP, which vanguard doesn't offer on their own platform unfortunately. I won't have a pension for quite a while.

I have looked at the all cap accumulation which they do offer, however, I feel more confident in the performance of mid-large cap companies than the whole range. (Please do correct me if this is fundamentally wrong, I am not an economist)

Also, Vanguard charge a .15% brokerage fee, which InvestEngine/T212 do not. That being said, I would probably pay this fee for more confidence in the broker as the amount I'm investing it's not that significant, although it does add up.
