How to get quotes for Italian Mutual Fund?

[Richard Ullger]

Paolo,

I'm having a similar problem with UK funds and Yahoo.

I followed the instructions summarised by Conor O'Neill. I obtained the 
symbol for Gartmore China Opportunities from 
http://uk.finsearch.yahoo.com/uk/ and entered this into gnucash. I was 
able to download prices for my funds for a couple of days but then the 
prices stopped updating and there were no error messages.

When I investigated at Yahoo I noticed that the symbols they were now 
reporting were the isin code followed by the iso currency code (as you 
can see in your case, IT0003110860ITA). I entered the new symbols into 
gnucash but when I download prices now it gives the error 'Unable to 
retrieve quotes for these items:' and lists the fund symbols I'd entered.

I've tried looking for the correct symbols but have had no luck so far.

Regards,

Richard.
