@paul aguirre So yes you can get some Total Return Indices - so for the S&P500 and FTSE100 you could try:

df = ek.get_timeseries(['.SPXTR','.TRIUKX'],['CLOSE'],start_date='2018-01-01',end_date='2021-05-05',interval='daily')
df

Thanks for this Jayson. Does it give you data for .FTAWDP following the same formula?
