European Fund Quotes?

[farleykj]

I had a similar problem with getting prices for an ESOP. For this type of
investment, you get company stock, but it's in some weird fund that uses a
ratio of the actual public stock as a share price.

I wrote a quick PERL module that just gets the Yahoo price for the actual
company stock, then "builds" a quote for the ESOP one that is usable by
GnuCash. For your situation, I would get the Yahoo quote for the security in
question, then build a quote while adding today's date, and pass that on to
GnuCash as your quote. The only caveat I have is that I have to keep a copy
of the module code in a directory separate from the "official" Perl ones
(/Library/Perl... on my OS X system) and replace them if I update Perl.

There have been a few threads on doing this kind of stuff, one of them
something I did when I started using GnuCash.
