Can someone tell me: is there a reason why the MoneyAM monitor does not recognise the epic codes of exchange trade funds? I'm thinking in particular of the iShares iFTSE100 fund (ISF) and the iShares S&P500 fund (IUSA).

Mine does, I follow these both here and in the usa, have just entered isf in stockwatch, suggest you ring customer support Diogenes

Diogenes,

The reason you are not able to put these into a stockwatch list is that you do not have the required level of subscription.

You would need to be on our Active + level.

Sorry for the delay in replying to you,

Ian

Why does one need to be on the Active + level? Exchange Traded Funds (iShares) are not indices, but tradeable shares. They also appear incorrectly on the indices page.

Surely am doesn't have to pay extra to the Exchange for ETF prices so that it needs to pass on a fee?

Hmm, that's a little disappointing, IanT. They're just shares, after all. Still, it's up to you what you offer and what you don't.

ADVFN have no such exclusion.

Just to say that these very cheap shares can now be put Into one's Stockwatch lists.
