NAME
    Finance::Quote::mstaruk - Obtain UK Unit Trust quotes from morningstar.co.uk.

SYNOPSIS
        $q = Finance::Quote->new;

        %info = Finance::Quote->fetch("mstaruk","<isin> ...");  # Only query morningstar.co.uk using ISINs
        %info = Finance::Quote->fetch("ukfunds","<isin> ...");  # Failover to other sources

DESCRIPTION
    This module fetches information from the MorningStar Funds service, http://morningstar.com/uk/.
    There are many UK Unit Trusts and OEICs quoted, as well as many Offshore Funds and Exhange
    Traded Funds (ETFs). It converts any funds quoted in GBX (pence) to GBP, dividing the price by
    100 in the process.

    Funds are identified by their ISIN code.

    This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. It's also possible to load it
    explicitly by placing "mstaruk" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new().

    Information obtained by this module may be covered by funds.ft.com terms and conditions See
    http://morningstar.co.ukfor details.

  Stocks And Indices
    This module provides both the "mstaruk" and "ukfunds" fetch methods for fetching UK and Offshore
    Unit Trusts and OEICs prices and other information from funds.ft.com. Please use the "ukfunds"
    fetch method if you wish to have failover with future sources for UK and Offshore Unit Trusts
    and OEICs - the author has plans to develop Finance::Quote modules for other source providing
    unit trust prices. Using the "mstaruk" method will guarantee that your information only comes
    from the morningstar.co.uk website.
