Using "Stocks" app on iPhone for eMaxis price

I have some shares I follow as "Favorites" on the Apple iphone "Stocks" app. When I open it, I can immediately see the price and other information.
I want to be able to see the eMaxis All Country price at a glance, as I invest in it through my iDeCo and tsumitate-NISA, but I don't know how to add it.

Does anyone know the ticker/abbreviation? Is it even possible to add it, since it is a mutual fund, as opposed to a single stock?

Thanks.

Unfortunately Japanese Funds are not available in the app.

How about tracking the ETF version? The ticker is 2559. The price will be different from the mutual fund, but it'll give you a rough idea of what's going on.

Not paying close attention to it(and thus ending up trying to time the market) may actually be better for you :)

I used to track a bunch of things but was looking at them regularly and stressing out over them. I stopped and now life is good and my portfolio slowly grows

This.

I used to check the indexes regularly, watch when things were moving, and would basically 'chunk' my mutual fund purchases when the time seemed right.

I've switched to 100% automatic now, but I keep a portion back in cash to allow me to 'scratch the itch' if I want to buy more of a certain product if the conditions look favourable. I may stop that entirely though since even the action of looking to find 'favourable' times puts me back in the game...
