I’ve run into a similar problem with fund names on Yahoo Finance. In some cases, Yahoo only has the ticker symbol stored—especially for certain mutual funds or UCITS—so it defaults to showing the symbol in your portfolio rather than the full fund name. A few things you might try:
Manual Ticker Entry: If you click “Add Symbol” and enter the fund’s ticker precisely (for example, the ISIN or the exact ticker Yahoo uses), sometimes Yahoo will pull in the proper name. This isn’t guaranteed, but worth a try.
Use a Custom Label: When you’re in the “My Portfolio” section, see if there’s a column or a setting that lets you rename a position manually. In some layouts, you can add a new column (e.g., “Notes” or “Custom”) to store the fund’s actual name. It’s not perfect, but it can help you keep track of what’s what.
Alternative Tools: If Yahoo Finance won’t cooperate, you could look into other portfolio trackers. Some third-party platforms let you customize holdings names more freely. If you’re managing multiple portfolios across different brokers or currencies, you might also benefit from using an orchestration layer—some people mention Corefy for consolidating multi-currency transactions, though that might be more than you need if you’re just after a fund name fix.
In most cases, the issue is simply that Yahoo Finance’s data feed doesn’t recognize certain fund names. If the “Create New View” option keeps reverting, you may just be running into a quirk of how Yahoo formats its fund data. Hopefully one of the workarounds above can help you label your fund properly or at least keep it straight in your reports.
