Frustration on Trustnet

westy22

I have spent a frustrating hour trying to register a holding in Vanguard ETF VUSA in Trustnet Portfolios.

You add a holding by selecting from a drop-down list but I cannot find the VUSA ETF anywhere, only the USD version which obviously reports prices in $. I have tried all ways to get the correct fund listed but to no avail.

What is particularly frustrating is that I have VUSA listed correctly as a holding in other portfolios on Trustnet, and these are reporting correct prices in GBP but I cannot remember how I did it as it was quite a long time ago; I certainly don't remember having had a problem like this before.

Are there any kind Trustnet Portfolio users who can point me in the right direction please?

I had similar frustration with
Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield ETF (VHYL).

I emailed their support and they came back to me almost immediately to tell me that it is not listed as it is considered an institutional fund. Seems a shame they dont as it can be purchased by retail customers. Maybe a similar issue, but I do recommend you email their customer support team via the link.

I have the paid for version and it is listed on there. It is listed as (spelling is theirs):

Vanguar S&p500 Van S&p 500 Etf
Code VUSA
ISIN IE00B3XXRP09

It comes under the equities universe. However, if I do a search for VUSA or any variant on the name it does not find it under any universe. I had to manually go Equities/V/ and pick it out from the list there.

Same with VYHL. That shows listed as "Vangua Va Ft Wr Hi Di Yl Uc Et"

I dont know how trustnet restricts compared to the paid database.

I've cracked it! :j

You have to ignore the 'add a holding' function in your portfolio. Instead you search and find the correct fund on FE as dunstonh advised; then you 'add to basket'; then you navigate back to your portfolio; then open your basket and then post the fund to your chosen portfolio. You can then edit the holding with your purchase quantities, prices and dates.

I have now written this down somewhere safe so that I don't forget again in 2 years time!
