You need the file Money2005-UK-QFE2.exe which is the latest version of MS Money 2005 for the UK. Also see these links:

I recommend MSMoneyQuotes if you ant to automatically download share and unit trust prices https://gaiersoftware.com/Money

I recommend installing MS Money as an Administrator in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

If you are based in the UK and your portfolio includes internationally listed funds, I suggest considering PocketSense for investment updates. MSN Money, which is used by MSMoneyQuotes, has poor support for non-US-listed funds, whereas PocketSense uses Yahoo Finance, which is currently more reliable for these assets.

If you only track stocks and ETFs, either tool should suffice since MSN Money still supports those categories internationally. MSMoneyQuotes works well for those specifically, but it currently lacks coverage for any of my UK and IE funds.

Please note that you will need to find the specific Yahoo fund reference (typically a custom variation of Morningstar), as direct ISIN support isn't available. Searching Yahoo by ISIN to find the correct reference has worked well for me when testing by setting up watchlists, as that also gives me the Yahoo reference needed by PocketSense. I am still in the process of configuring PocketSense in my own environment, so I cannot yet provide a full recommendation, but it is worth exploring.

On the contrary, all my UK funds and shares are on MSN Money and so work with MSMoneyQuotes.

I hope I have not misled anyone. Stephen is correct, and with some help, MSN Money does have international funds. However, like any site that does not support a standardised fund naming convention, it really needs a good detective to look at all the ways a fund could be named, with many different types of abbreviations that even change depending on the fund. Well, you only have to do this once per fund. The search routine from Gaier software is much better at helping to identify the correct funds compared to using the standard MSN Money search. Out of the approximately 20 funds I need, it's just one left now that is proving elusive. I would still favour Yahoo, as one can search on ISIN numbers, whereas, although there appear to be fields in the MSN Money search results, Gaier shows them to be empty.
