I don't use the ISIN or SEDOL.  What I did was go to the Morningstar
page and search for the fund name, or stock name or whatever you want.
Assuming that it's recognised, in the address bar of the result page is
a different number - like F0GBR04C7V for instance.  Enter that into the
KMM security settings and hopefully that will work.  It does for all
the ones I use.

I've just tried searching for your ISIN, and if you select funds you
get a result for Fidelity American.  If you click on that link, you get
the result page with a new symbol in the address bar.  Doing that, I
get the details, with a new symbol in the address bar - F0GBR04RX8.

Try that.  It definitely works - I've just done an update with it.
