15 This module fetches information from the Financial Times Funds service,
16 http://funds.ft.com. There are over 47,000 UK Unit Trusts and OEICs
17 quoted, as well as many Offshore Funds and Exhange Traded Funds (ETFs).
18 It converts any funds quoted in GBX (pence) to GBP, dividing the price
19 by 100 in the process.
20
21 Funds are identified by their ISIN code, a 12 character alphanumeric
22 code. Although the web site also allows searching by fund name, this
23 version of Finance::Quote::FTfunds only implements ISIN lookup. To
24 determine the ISIN for funds of interest to you, visit the funds.ft.com
25 site and use the flexible search facilities to identify the funds of
26 interest. The factsheet display for any given fund displays the ISIN
27 along with other useful information.

39 fetching UK and Offshore Unit Trusts and OEICs prices and other
40 information from funds.ft.com. Please use the "ukfunds" fetch method if
41 you wish to have failover with future sources for UK and Offshore Unit
42 Trusts and OEICs - the author has plans to develop Finance::Quote
43 modules for the London Stock Exchange and Morningstar unit trust
44 services. Using the "ftfunds" method will guarantee that your
