HYPTUSS: Electrocomponents name and Ticker change

HYPTUSS users need to be aware that Electrocomponents (ECM) will be called RS Group (RS1) from tomorrow morning on...

The Company's stock market TIDM will become RS1 from 8:00 am (UK time) tomorrow, 4 May 2022. Our ISIN will remain unchanged.

Thanks Bree.
I'll wait a few days before updating the Company Data Sheet since most websites have not yet updated.

In the meantime, if you just change column C of the Company Data Sheet from ECM to RS1, you will get updated price from Yahoo. You'll also need to change Column C of the High Yield Portfolio sheet.

Why oh why do companies have to make these trivial and meaningless changes :(

Thanks.

Both my on-line portfolios have made the change automatically, including retaining my transactions history from when it was ECM. I expected nothing less from the FT Portfolio, but I was fully expecting my DigitalLook Portfolio to need some manual intervention - apparently not ;)

So that just leaves my own spreadsheets to fix....
