Suggestions beyond Trustnet/Morningstar/FT

Trustnet / Morningstar / FT

Any other good suggestions to try, I am having a few challenges with ISIN's that turn up or don't on each one.  The missing one turns up on the next tool but another one disappears. So can't build overall portfolio exactly on any one.  Closest on Trustnet so far.
It must be about what feeds they take and from where

I have been using ISIN mainly and then a SEDOL to try to find my actual funds.

Clean and complete data and tools would be worth a small consumer level subscription if someone is in that market

I am not interested in more expensive professional level trading tools and news feeds per se as this is a rebalancing, portfolio comparison (performance) and contents overlap / drift requirement.  I can update a spreadsheet once a month to track a cross platform total.

And would use portfolio tracker once a year maybe to meet the other need.  Set and forget. Check.  True up income. Set income.  Rebalance. Repeat

Any other suggestions from old hands other than gritting my teeth and using "similar" funds with broadly the same target content and fiddling the unit counts/prices so that the holding is sort of correct and sort of tracks underlying markets to enable a "there abouts" portfolio comparison

What are you trying to do? Use your provider's tools to see what you've got. By necessity they must have the items you hold.

I want to model an overall portfolio of my funds in aggregate which are held across providers.  The tools I mentioned can all do this - but only if they have the funds on the feed.

My goal is to roll it up and look at a) the performance b) the historical performance within the limits of the data and how that compares to some mainstream one and done options and/or IA category averages. 

I then want to look at the rolled up contents so far as holdings data supports that for obvious screw ups or drift in my choices which has overconcentrated single stocks or gone far from where I began on geography/sector.

It's that portfolio wide across platform rolled up analysis for annual rebalancing checks I'm after not the "adding up the total"
but I want to use my complete list of holdings across platforms so this can't be done a single provider platform in this instance.

Have you looked at This is Money Power Portfolio, I was reading about it and they reckon they have 90,000 funds available and is free, I have not used it myself but it sounded interesting

@CTFC Thank you for the suggestion. Tried the fund search without registering

Some different versions of funds than I had seen before were indeed present but not the one I was looking for as a test.  Still no ISIN match.  And it's Daily Mail Group so I think I'll give it a hard pass anyway. 

Just as well it didn't work or I would have had to deal with the emotional conflict.

I make extensive use of both Morningstar and Trustnet and cannot remember ever having been unable to find a fund.  I always search by name. This can be difficult on Morningstar but if you Google the name you should be  able to find out what Morningstar call it. With Trustnet just search by provider.

@Linton - just another example of the investing adage that something not happening before doesn't mean it can't or won't
I searched by ISIN (no).  I searched by name - and looked at each (trustnet) fund fact sheet + checked the ISIN of all those from that provider with the same basic format of fund name - around two or three similar things but not my exact one
So if this is indeed still my inability to find it on the fund search then the easter bunny has done a fairly good job hiding it. 

It is possible fact sheet fund info data has a configuration management error and one of the funds with a similar name and *apparently* the wrong ISIN on the fact sheet *is* in fact the correct one but it has the wrong trustnet fact sheet data attached to it. 

Limited history on certain funds is arguably more of an obstacle to my intended purpose than this slight mismatch

What fund cant you find?

Thanks @Linton - I have found it now. 

What I had known as "L&G PMC UK Equity Index 3" ISIN GB00B4MV7743 aka NBC3
is on Trustnet as L&G UK Equity Index PMC Pn G25  and my ISIN is in fact there as one of the secondary unit types on the all units tab - but it's not the primary ISIN on the factsheet.  Silly me.
Not that you can get to factsheets today - Cloudfare SSL / site down. 

You really need to know how to navigate these - lots of wrinkles. 
Yesterday I dared put an accidental space in the word(s) "Mastertrust" and the search engines were absolutely clear they had never heard of it.
