Some Canadian Mutual Funds not updating

Markhfx

Two of my Canadian Mutual Funds are not updating.... all others are.... the two in question are
AGF Stragegic Income Symbol AGF680
BMO Growth and Income Fund-D BMO31442
Wondering if someone can help?
Thanks

I just had a look at the FundServ prices and most of them have a 12/24 pricing date. Maybe a CAD holiday delay? What date is the last price for those funds.

This is the error message... and the funds themselves are not updating for quite sometime now

Random test of these tickers, for AGF Strategic Income Fund MF Series, I found 3 separate tickers for AGF980 to include AGF280 and AGF293. Still researching it.

Double check the ticker setup for the fund in Quicken:

Have not used the Q CAD version for a while, here is another ticker structure from the link.

MUTUAL:AGF980:TSX

Also the link for the BMO fund. Can you check your brokerage statements and see if there was a ticker change or merger with another fund?

And another source with a different ticker. Were these funds acquired from another firm?

Different tickers for Front End/Deferred Sales Charge etc. Presumably they price the same, you could test if they work.

The AGF fund I have owned for years... it just stopped downloading a few months ago.... and have never been able to get the other fund to work

Okay so BMO has never worked. Recommend trying the following tickers to experiment to see if any works:

MUTUAL:BMO31442
MUTUAL:GGF31442
FUND:BMO31442
FUND:GGF31442
MUTUAL:BMO31442:TSX
MUTUAL:GGF31442:TSX
FUND:BMO31442:TSX
FUND:GGF31442:TSX

That AGF is an older fund (6 character fund ticker). Backup the file, complete a File Operations/Data Validate and Repair then retest the download of prices.

I like researching this stuff, but that BMO fund is a ghost. Fund series started in 2017, found a recent fund facts link.

My pricing source does not have this specific fund there either by name, manager or Fundserv code. Possibly this is a group RRSP fund, or broker specific fund not offered outside the broker?

Markhfx

apologize for the long delay in responding and thank you for trying to help...
It is not a group RRSP fund and the symbol is correct... for whatever reason it will not update the pricing same with the AGF980 which did not update after the validate and repair at a bit of a losss
