Frequently Asked Questions
What is an expense ratio?
The expense ratio is the annual fee charged by the fund, expressed as a percentage of assets. Lower ratios mean less of your return goes to fees.
Does it track dividends and distributions?
Yes. Log dividend payments in the distribution section. These can be added to your cost basis if reinvested, or tracked as income received.
Can I track both ETFs and mutual funds?
Yes. The template works for any fund with a per-share price. Enter ETFs, index mutual funds, or target-date funds the same way.
How often should I update prices?
Monthly or quarterly updates work well for passive portfolios. More frequent updates are optional but not necessary for long-term tracking.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
