Re: Downloading securities data for an HSBC index tracker

It doesn't look like Yahoo! will carry those prices:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=GB0000412477.L+Historical+Prices

This web page shows that prices are not available from Yahoo!.

However, you may have some luck using Google and symbol
MUTF_GB:HSBC_FTSE_100_WITF2Z:
http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=MUTF_GB:HSBC_FTSE_100_WITF2Z

You can try switching the Quotes and Exchange Rates settings to use the
different symbol and select Google as your download source. You may wish to
switch to Advanced mode and do some test downloads to make sure it works.

Good luck!
