Share Pand Fund Price Benchmarks

[TerryWood]

Hi@ Lemon Fool

I have a number of Shares and Funds for which I have created charts with Kiloran's Hyptuss LibreOffice Calc version c-b.

I now want to extend the Charts by adding/overlaying Benchmark indices on each chart that represent the sector which the share/fund covers.

What I need to know is where to locate these Benchmark indices with historical data and what mechanism one uses to ensure that the index overlays the chart. The FT.com site shows these benchmarks overlaid but I cannot find where to retrieve them from.

I would be most appreciative of any help to finishing off my project.

Thanks

Terry

A quick search suggests that you'll have difficulty in obtaining benchmark indices without paying.

An alternative I use is to download historic data for L100 or VUKE which are FTSE 100 TR trackers with very low charges. Not perfect but a useful comparison.
