  • This is an update to the Excel Mutual Fund NAV History Downloader posted a few days ago.
  • I have now included the possibility of retrieving NAV history from the AMFI website in addition to Yahoo! Finance.
  • Can retrieve NAV history of all mutual funds from AMFI up to April 3rd 2006
  • If you need NAV history from fund inception then you could try Yahoo! Finance.
  • Unfortunately, as pointed out by Raghav in the above post, Yahoo! Finance does not use the AMFI code for all mutual funds. So NAV history of funds like HDFC Top 200 cannot be retrieved. Will have to use AMFI for such funds.
  • In the future if an NFO is available the fund name as listed in AMFI and AMFI fund code will need to be added to this tool if you wish to retrieve NAV history.
