Download a free google spreadsheet portfolio tracker for stocks, mutual funds and fixed deposits. Use it to store important account nos for quick reference and track the progress of your financial goals. Get daily or periodic email alerts on your portfolio growth. I am so proud to state that this spreadsheet has been entirely developed by friends.
One of the key advantages of this sheet is that a same stock or fund can be mapped to multiple goals. The asset allocation of each goal is tabulated and can be compared to the desired allocation. This makes rebalancing easy.
The first version created by Guhan Ramanan. Guhan developed his sheet without focussing on returns and daily email alerts. His thinking is that the user should focus on the current value of the corpus and what percentage of the target corpus has been achieved. I concur.
For the second version, Amol Wable added return calculated (Xirr) with a fantastic use of spreadsheet array functions. He also set up email trigger alerts. Pranav Date has added as asset allocation graph to the above spreadsheet.
Muthu Krishnan (who has been responsible for all DIY investor meets at Bangalore) then added goal planning features to this sheet. He also added a data sheet where we can enter all important information (Pan card, Aadhaar card, insurance policies etc) and this can be easily shared with the spouse.
Now in version 4, thanks to detailed feedback from Roshan Dawrani and S. Vivekanandan, Muthu has made multiple changes (see list below)

Google spreadsheet portfolio tracker: Dashboard
This gives you a summary of your target corpus, its current value; your target asset allocation, your current asset allocation etc.
Google spreadsheet portfolio tracker: Investment mapping
The mutual funds, stocks, and fds are mapped in this sheet with their current annualized return (XIRR). You can also assign the same mutual fund or stocks to multiple goals here.
Google spreadsheet portfolio tracker: MF Investments
Here you can enter your mutual fund investments. The annualized return (CAGR) of each investment (treated as an individual lump sum) is also listed here. This is a useful feature to understand volatility.

Stocks investments can be listed here
Google spreadsheet portfolio tracker: Fixed deposits
Don’t worry about the #Num! values. That is because there are no corresponding deposits. You are welcome to correct it!
Google spreadsheet portfolio tracker: symbols
For stocks or indices, the corresponding Google finance symbol must be entered. For example NSE: Nifty for Nifty price. NSE:TCS for TCS and so on. You can get this from google finance.
For mutual funds, you can either enter the AMFI code (you can search for this in the current NAV sheet) or the Google finance symbol. Suggest you use the AMFI code.

Just saw the title and could not resist commenting – The idea of Centralized Tracker for all Asset Classes’ itself looks much attractive! Need to explore more how it can be used. Thanks.
Thanks!
1. Can we easily copy, paste from v3?
2. Why has “sell” tab been removed? I could track my “sell” too in v3 though it’d been easier to enter “sell” in MF investment/stock section
What’s wtd. Age in that?
Once the trigger is added, it is asking to grant permissions.
Can you please advise on what should be ideally used.
Authorization Required. NAV from AMFI needs your permission to access data on Google. Once I click review permissions and click advanced. The following 4 options are presented.
NAV from AMFI wants to
1) View and Manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive (default selected)
2) Allow this script to run when you are not present
3) Send email as you
4) Connect to and external service
Has an Allow and Cancel button.
If you want to use the sheet, you need to grant all permissions.
Hi Prof,
Awesome as always. I need help.
I am using older version of portfolio manager which is now not updating the MF NAV’s. However same is working in your new version. I have personalised the workbook to suit my requirements with tons of data in it.
Is it possible to guide on how to make MF NAV update like before.
Regards,
Atul
Will reproduce the reply you received for the benefit of others. Thanks to Roshan for this.
Go to Tools – Script Editor. In the function get_csv_(), change “http://portal.amfiindia.com/spages/NAV1.txt” to “http://portal.amfiindia.com/spages/NAVOpen.txt” and save and re-run the “update NAV”.
AMFI shifted their NAV data sharing to a new URL recently.
Great work team ! I have a query – within the financial year if I have brought and sold a stock, how do I enter them on the latest sheet and know my overall CAGR for my stock portfolio ?
enter the details in the stocks sheet and it will be autocalculated
Dear Prof.
Two questions:
1. How do I track selling of MF units. Just entering negative units seemed to work. Wanted to check if that is the way to go.
2. I understand you are against combining insurance and investment. I am completely for it. However, the hard reality is I have some insurance policies (endowment). Can we include them also in this sheet?
1 you can try that
2 you can enter details but updation is not possible
looks like AMFI has chaged the URL for NAV updates. The NAV update script gives an error,
You need to change the script as below
Go to Tools – Script Editor. In the function get_csv_(), change “http://portal.amfiindia.com/spages/NAV1.txt" to “http://portal.amfiindia.com/spages/NAVOpen.txt" and save and re-run the “update NAV".
Hi Sir,
How to track the PF and RD? If I enter my PF amount in fixed ‘Fixed income’ sheet it is showing the current value as negative. And also not sure how to enter the RD as well.

Dear Pattu,
Kudos to you and the team behind this(Muttu).
I want to know – what is the use of Current_NAV sheet?
You have explained –
1. This gets the latest NAV from AMFI. – How?
2. You can search for the AMFI code of your funds here – This is not an exhaustive list to search for, we can google that, right?
Kindly let me know if i’m misunderstanding/ missing anything
Thank you Dear Pattu. This was quite useful. I have updated the macro now and it works fine.
Hi Pattu,
Your stuffs are really cool.
wouldn’t it be great if you add Loans (Home loan, Auto, personal), other Debts to your sheets so that one can know their networth and where they stand in terms of the finances.
Regards,
Venkat
Is it possible to track daily changes in mutual fund NAVs to check change from yesterday to today?
I don’t want lot of historical data but just change from day prior..
Let me know if this is possible.
Thanks
