Stock Symbols for Retirement Funds

JoeShmoe_2

Do retirement funds have stock symbols such that I can add them to my standard stock ticker?

If so how would I find out which symbol they use? Right now all I can see is the following

Citicode ISINSQ48 GB0007906687

Which I assume isnt enough ! If not is there a fund tracker ticker anywhere? Does this also cover standard investment funds or do they have symbols?

Yes. They typically have SEDOL, MAX and CITI codes.

Some funds do not publish data. These typically are COMP/CIMP schemes (contracted out/in money purchase schemes) or custom built group personal pension schemes.

Some of the free data suppliers dont hold data on pension and life funds though. So, the problem may be at that end. The largest UK supplier of fund data (Financial Express) does.

To add to that I can see the CITI codes so can I use those in a standard ticker?
