Where can I find historical unit prices for Unit Trusts & OEICS?

Len_Beach

As above,

I'm looking for a site that gives me historical unit price trends if possible.

Trustnet & Morningstar don't seem to have the relevant info'.

Thanks

How many different funds? How many different dates? And are they funds you already invest in? If so, probably best to go directly to the provider.

If you take Fidelity, for instance, it would take quite some resource to list the historical prices for every single fund, on any given day in the past .... 5 years, say. Simply TMI to store on a website.

You can see graphs at various places. I tend to use Google Finance.
For example here is Fidelity Special Situations:

You can alter the timeline and size of period at the bottom and moving your cursor over the graph tells you the price at that point.

Well, someone has that data despite my sceptism - so I stand corrected! And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that

Thanks Reaper :T

If its only one fund and one date, post the info and I will tell you. However, if its something you want to use more frequently then I cant do that obviously. Many IFAs will have software that has that data available. I use Financial Express Analytics (which Trustnet is the consumer version of) and its on there. However, it is too expensive for the average consumer to pay for. I think Morningstar have that data available as well on their paid for version but again, thats aimed towards larger self investors or IFA firms.

Sorry to be nearly 3 years behind the debate but the provision of historic prices is a matter of the company being bothered to provide them. On the better websites (such as Schroders) it is possible to get prices way back, usually to the date on which the fund was launched. In their case you can download a .csv file (comma separated values) which can be read, admittedly with a bit of manipulation, on some word processors. The download time, even for a fund which has been going for some years, is quite reasonable.

Alas, the financial services industry are very poor at standardisation. This is only one subject (the layout of tax vouchers and valuation statements being two others) on which it's about time that they managed to get their act together.
