I received a PM asking how I get the I Fund price, but I couldn't figure out how to send an attachment through PM, so here I am posting it for everyone.
The attachment has a zip file. When unzipped, there will be two Excel files. The first one, I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.current.xls , is a spreadsheet I download from:
http://www.mscibarra.com/products/indices/stdindex/performance.jsp
First, visit the site, then click on the first index called EAFE. That should bring you to a page with a little chart. On the Drop down menu for Index Type, choose Net Index (USD). Make sure the date has the latest date (i.e. today's date), then click on the Download button. When asked where I want to save it, I just choose my I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.current.xls and overwrite it.
Next, open up both Excel files (I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.current.xls and I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.Fab's.xls
Scroll to the bottom of the current one and select and copy the cells containing the dates and amounts for the days that you do not have in Fab's. Paste those dates and amounts underneath the last dates and amounts in Fab's. The way to get column D to show the change in percent is to copy the last cell in column D containing a value, then paste it into the D cells without the values. Then do the same thing for column H. That will show you the price of the I Fund, unless they FV. If they do FV, just leave it alone, it'll pan out in a day or two.
On the attachments I am including, I didn't do the steps for today's values, so you can practice. Copy today's data from I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.current.xls and paste into I.Fund.EAFE.History.Net.Fab's.xls. Then you can close the current file and only work on Fab's. Copy D842 and paste into D843. Copy H842 and paste into H843.
Whew! That was a long explanation for something that only takes a couple of minutes to do. I hope this helps us one day, when they give us until 4pm to make our changes!
