# Finance::Quote::MStaruk - phpMan

## 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.
