Fund holdings

[Mahesh Krishnan]

Hi,

Is there an R function and data source for retrieving all mutual fund
holdings. The closest I got was Blomberg, but fund -> MHD does not get all
data in one shot.  Plus RBloomberg doesn't work with their internal
functions.
I appreciate any help/ pointers that you can provide.

Thanks,
Mahesh.

Hi Mahesh,

I'm not aware of an R function that gets the holdings of mutual funds,
but in my "qmao" package
(https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1113), the getHoldings
function will get the holdings and weights of iShares and Select
Sector SPDRs ETFs.

I also have some code that I haven't yet committed to the public
domain that will get the holdings of SPDRs (e.g. SPY, DIA), and Van
Eck funds (e.g. GDX, OIH) as well as a function that will get
historical holdings of iShares.  If this is of interest to anyone, I'd
be happy to make that code available.

Best,
Garrett

The code I mentioned is attached.
