The freefincal mutual fund portfolio overlap tool (first published July 2017 and updated May 2019) is now fully updated to work blazing fast on Google Sheets. The features of the tool are listed below.

  • It allows you to compare the portfolio of five mutual funds. These can be a mix of equity funds, hybrid funds and debt mutual funds (excluding overnight funds).
  • Suppose mf1, mf2,mf3,mf4  and mf5 are the fund chosen, we find the no of common stocks and percentage overlap in equity between mf1 and mf2; mf1 and mf3; …. mf2 vs m4 … mf4 vs mf5 (all 10 combinations).
  • We can compare the sectoral distributions. For eg. mf1 has 10% of pains while mf2 has 5% of banks, mf4 has 25% of foreign equity
  • We can compare the credit rating distribution in the case of hybrid funds and debt funds. For eg. mf1 has 15% of SOV bonds, mf2 has 5% of treasury bills, mf3 has 7% of AA bonds rated by CRISIL while mf4 has 9% of AA bonds rated by CARE etc.
  • The portfolios are downloaded from Moneycontrol. The sheet is blazing fast on Google Sheets.
  • What is the price of the sheet? The sheet is free to use, but it is available only to those who purchase the freefincal mutual fund (and stock) portfolio tracker on Google Sheets.

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, what would it be if we had to groom one ability in our children that is key not only to money management and investing but to any aspect of life? 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 parents plan for it and teach him several key ideas of decision-making and money management is the narrative. What readers say!
