[GNC] Getting Quotes for Funds

[aeg]

 Hi Bruce,Thank you for pointing out the ISIN error, which prompted me to check both funds on my investment platform, where I found that both ISIN's were wrong, even though they both returned updated quotes using the source Kalpesh suggested, so I've now updated those.
In trying to set it up, I also found it difficult to find the correct ticker symbol to use, as different searches returned different results, and I'm now further puzzled that the Symbol shown in your examples below uses the ISIN code!

There was a minor fix to MorningstarUK in F::Q v1.67. You should upgrade.

 From poking around I think you have an incorrect ISIN for "HSBC Global 
Strategy Balanced C Acc. Is ISIN GB00B76WP695 what you want?On my Ubuntu 
24.04 laptop I have success looking up both prices (using the ISIN I 
suggested).
