Mutual Fund Portfolio Growth Visualizer With Index Benchmarking

Last Updated on December 28, 2021 at 6:25 pm

Download a free spreadsheet Mutual Fund Portfolio Growth Visualizer With Index Benchmarking. This will allow you to compare the growth of your mutual fund portfolio with a variety of BSE and NSE benchmark indices. This was to compare my retirement equity portfolio with Sensex and Nifty Next 50. Now it is your turn! Along with the sheet, I have also included a video user guide and a sample transaction sheet for testing.

Users of the freefincal mutual fund and financial goal tracker or Value Research Portfolio tracker can straightaway copy and paste the transactions into the Mutual Fund Portfolio Growth Visualizer. Users of other trackers like Perfios should be able to do this easily enough.

This is a screenshot of the main inputs page. You will need to:

Enter the first-ever date on which you started investing in mutual funds
You can optionally choose an index. Nifty Next 50 TRI is pre-loaded but you can always change it. This will take a while. So please be patient.

3. Steps 1,2 and 3 in the inputs sheet and step 4 and 5 in the transactions sheet (below) have to be repeated (in that order) for each of your mutual funds. You can see the format of the transaction below. You can use “purchase” or “buy” to represent an investment and “redemption” or “sell” to represent a withdrawal. Dividends can be included but will be ignored. If it is a dividend-reinvestment plan or if you have reinvested dividends (either in the same fund or another), then they will have to be entered as a separate “purchase” transaction.

Mutual Fund Portfolio Growth Visualizer: Portfolio value

When you enter the transaction for each fund (complete steps 1-5), you will be directed to the “portfolio graph” sheet where you can see the actual portfolio growth – always check if the current portfolio value as on date is accurate.

Sometimes the value will drop to zero in the middle. This is because the AMFI NAV database has some missing or zero NAV values.

It would be a good idea to start with your first fund and then move forward chronologically. This way after each entry, you will be able to compare the performance of the portfolio (up to the data entered) with the chosen index (which can be changed at any time).

Mutual Fund Portfolio Growth Visualizer: Updating

Each transaction set uploaded will be sequentially stored in “for updating only” sheet. To add future transactions, locate the fund on that sheet and add the new transaction entries at the bottom without gaps. Then go back to the inputs page and press the update button.
