Why did this index fund jump almost 20,000% in 2017?

Personal Finance & Money Asked by LondonAppDev on May 1, 2021

I am looking at Vanguard Pacific ex-Japan Stock Index Fund GBP Dist (0P0000KM1Z.L) on Yahoo Finance.

Between 2017-12-24 and 2017-12-31 it jumped from £200 to £20,376.

To confirm, I went right to Vanguard and saw -

Which confirms the FT quoting. So, to the 2 comments, yes, bad data, confirmed by 2 sources.
