Extracting NAV from the interweb

Post by gbalin »

Does anyone know if I can extract NAV and/or discount or premium for ITs from any source, like share prices from Yahoo finance? Also is there a way of finding out what the discount or premium was on any given historical date?

I'm not aware of any source that can do precisely what you want. Trustnet is a common source for IT data:

Morningstar has a good search facility that will list NAV and Discount/Premium information.

It can be set to list 500 results at a time via a drop-down at the bottom of the page, which can then be exported to Excel via the rather small 'Export' button just above the column-headers -

With regards to seeing historical discount/premium information, I'm not sure if you'll easily get that in tabular form, but there's a useful historical graph available at the bottom of the Trustnet 'Performance' page, shown here for JP Morgan Indian IT (JII), which allows multi-year views to be taken, up to 5-years, on discount/premium figures -

Vedry useful, thank you. Trustnet and M'star are such rich seams of info it can be hard navigating to what you want. Thanks for the pointers.
