We are happy to announce a new Google sheet based mutual fund and stock investment tracker. The features of the sheet are presented below.
Key features of the freefincal mutual fund and stock tracker
- A private, all-in-one-place tracker that is independent of our computers.
- Fast and functionally superior to our previous Excel-based trackers.
- Completely open-source with no hidden formulae. Can be customized at will.
- Easy to share with our life partners as part of our continuity kits. See: How to help our life partner manage money in our absence.
- Updated with current NAV on opening the sheet.
- New SIP transactions will be automatically available (see screenshots and instructions below). If you have multiple SIPs, this sheet can be duplicated for maintaining separate records.
- Total equity and debt fund value can be plotted automatically on a daily/weekly/monthly basis (no need to keep the sheet browser tab open!)
- Overall portfolio annualized return (equity + debt), overall equity and debt annualized returns available.
- A basic goal-analysis sheet for ball part estimation of financial goal progress. The current investment value is auto-updated for revised estimates.
- Quickly find the NAV for any fund since 3rd April 2005 to enter lump sum transactions.
- The sheet comes with two financial goal dashboards: one for retirement and one for children’s future. Can be duplicated or customised for other goals.
- Those using a unified portfolio (same investments for multiple goals) can also use the sheet.
- Two variants are available: One for mutual funds and another for mutual funds and stocks. The previously published stock tracker is integrated with this sheet. It gives the annualised return of individual stocks and of the overall portfolio after taking into account all corporate actions like dividends, splits etc. accurately as per SEBI norms avoiding the mistakes made by many stock portfolio trackers.
- All future bug updates and version updates will be made available to users. To ensure you receive these updates, ensure you add this email address to your contact list: pattu {AT} freefincal {DOT} com
- Affordable! The MF tracker costs only Rs. 500. The Mutual fund and Stock Tracker Costs only Rs. 800. This is a one-time purchase.
- We are open to feature suggestions if they would help a wide number of users.
- 100% skin in the game: we will be using this sheet for tracking all our mutual fund and stock investments.
- For support and feedback contact: freefincal {AT} Gmail {Dot} Com

- Each investment in a fund needs to be identified by a unique nickname
- Two folios held in the same fund must be given different nicknames.
- The AMFI Code (black arrow above) of each fund needs to be entered. See the video on how to do this. Instructions are also available in the sheet.
- The blue arrow shows the overall XIRR (annualised return) of the equity portfolio.
SIP Transactions
The screenshot below shows the SIP transactions page. Once you enter the SIP details along with the fund nickname and AMFI code, all transitions will be auto-generated.
SIP Transactions page in the Freefincal MF and Stock Portfolio TrackerThese transactions should be copied to the particular goal sheet: Retirement or Child etc.
From the next month on, the SIP transaction will be auto-updated in this sheet. There will be a message in “red” (see screenshot) in the SIP and the retirement page. Only the new transaction needs to be copied into the retirement page.
In the case of multiple SIPs, you can duplicate the SIP page to track each of them simultaneously and link each SIP with the corresponding goal.
Find NAV Sheet
For lump sum investments or redemptions, you can use this sheet to find the NAV for any set of dates on or after 3rd April 2006.
Goal Analysis Sheet
A basic goal progress analysis sheet is included. It has plenty of simplistic assumptions and the results should only be treated as a ballpark estimate. We recommend using our robo advisory tool for accurate analysis. See: How to use the freefincal robo advisory tool to track the progress of our financial goals.
Portfolio Chart Update

My new book for kids: “Chinchu gets a superpower!” is now available!
Most investor problems can be traced to a lack of informed decision making. We have all made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning and spent years undoing these mistakes. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, if we had to groom one ability in our children that is key not only to money management and investing but for any aspect of life, what would it be? My answer: Sound Decision Making. So in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. What he wants for his birthday and how his parent’s plan for it and teach him several key ideas of decision making and money management is the narrative. What readers say!
Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from their young age. The importance of money management and decision making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. – Arun.
