Accessing Mutual Fund / ETF Data (e.g. NAV) via LSEG Data Library

B_C

Hi,

I previously used the Eikon Data API in Python to retrieve historical data for mutual funds and ETFs, including NAV prices. Since this API is being deprecated, I have started working with the LSEG Data Library and successfully opened a session.

However, I have not been able to retrieve NAV or similar data for mutual fund RICs (e.g., JRGE.DE). Is there any documentation specifically covering mutual funds and ETFs for the LSEG Data Library?

Alternatively, is there another API I should be using to access this type of data?

Hello @B_C

The LD library is quite compatible and most of the old Eikon API calls should also work with the new library with trivial modification. You should be able to get NAV for funds and ETFs using the get_data API call and passing in the right field. See Data Item Browser (DIB) for more available fields.

Here is an example of NAV for few funds and a ETF:
