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:
Update Feb 2024: A Sov Gold Bond Tracker on Google Sheets is free for those purchasing the tracker!
Update April 2024: A NPS Portfolio Tracker on Google Sheets is free for those purchasing the tracker!
- A private, all-in-one-place tracker that is independent of our computers.
- Fast and functionally superior to our previous Excel-based trackers.
- It is completely open-source with no hidden formulae. It 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.
- It is updated with the current NAV on opening the sheet.
- New monthly* SIP transactions will be automatically available (see screenshots and instructions below). If you have multiple SIPs, this sheet can be duplicated to maintain separate records. * will not work for weekly or daily or quarterly SIPs!
- 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 ballpark estimation of financial goal progress. The current investment value is auto-updated for revised estimates.

- Those with a unified portfolio (same investments for multiple goals) can 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 the overall portfolio after considering all corporate actions like dividends, splits, etc., accurately per SEBI norms, avoiding the mistakes many stock portfolio trackers make.
- All future bug updates and version updates will be made available to users. To ensure you receive these updates, add this email address to your contact list: pattu {AT} freefincal {DOT} com.
- Affordable! The fully featured tool is only Rs. 1000. This is a one-time purchase. Variants with fewer features cost even less!

- 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.
- Each fund’s AMFI Code (black arrow above) must be entered. See the video on how to do this. Instructions are also available in the sheet.
- The blue arrow shows the equity portfolio’s overall XIRR (annualised return).
Monthly 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. This is for monthly SIPs only. Weekly or daily or quarterly SIPs will not work.
SIP Transactions page in the Freefincal MF and Stock Portfolio TrackerThese transactions should be copied to the particular goal sheet: Retirement or Child etc.
The monthly SIP transaction will be auto-updated in this sheet from the next month. 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 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.
