Where can I find historical daily returns of mutual funds within an annuity?

Question

Yahoo Finance has copious historical records of many stocks. However, it does not include mutual funds contained within annuities. I am specifically looking for historical daily returns of the unit prices of mutual funds within a Metropolitan Life annuity. I have called Metroplitan Life and basically have been told that these records are not available. That bothers me because, obviously, someone has these records - it's the only way published averages of 3-months, 6-months, etc., can be calculated. I would like to do some of my own graphing and analysis, but I cannot do so without these records. Can anyone help?

Answer 2

If the mutual funds are publicly traded on an exchange then returns would be no different than those in a annuity. Mutual funds are simply a compilation of investments in individual securities (primarily stocks). Just because they are part of a mutual fund doesn't change their daily returns. Same with annuities. The fact your funds are in an annuity has no impact on the returns of the fund.
