Re: Finance-Quote 1.47 released!

I probably missed this somewhere but is there anyway to get quotes on Alphavantage for funds? I am using the same fund id that I used on yahoo but get no quotes. This is the ISIN code followed by .L for the LSE. Also I successfully get all the company stocks quotes OK with the exception of RELX
