OpenFactsheet

Get a free second opinion

Your independent factsheet, in about a minute.

No finance jargon needed. Start with an example, or bring an investment's monthly returns as a file or a pasted table.

Your file never leaves your device. While you analyze, this page makes no requests to anyone else. How we handle data

Getting the calculator ready…

Recommended for a first look

Start with an example

See a complete report without preparing anything. The example is an illustrative fund built from ten years of made-up monthly returns. It is not a real fund and not a recommendation.

The first run takes about 15 seconds on a computer, and up to a minute on a phone, while the calculator loads.

What you'll see

  • How much it grew over ten years
  • Its biggest drop, and how long recovery took
  • How much it typically moved in a year
  • How far you can trust the numbers
  • Every detailed measurement, with charts

Use my investment data

You need the investment's return for each month. Upload a CSV or Excel file, or paste a table copied from a spreadsheet or a factsheet.

Drag your file here

or

CSV or Excel (.csv, .xlsx), up to 5 MB. One row per month, with a date and that month's return, written as a percentage (1.5) or a decimal (0.015). We work out which.

Your data is analyzed in this browser tab. It is never uploaded, stored or shared.

Where do I find monthly returns?
  • On the factsheet

    Many factsheets print a table of monthly returns, a row per year and a column per month. Copy the whole table, including the header row, and paste it here.

  • In the annual or semi-annual report

    Look for a performance section. If it only gives one figure per year, that isn't enough: the tool needs a return for each month.

  • From your broker or platform

    Some platforms let you download an investment's history as a spreadsheet. Look for a download or export option on its performance or price page.

  • On the provider's website

    The investment's own page sometimes offers its performance history as a download. Ask the provider for monthly returns if you can't find them.

Only have prices? OpenFactsheet analyzes returns, not prices or unit values. If you give it prices, it says so rather than guessing. Check before or after fees: returns after all fees (net) are what an investor actually received.

Illustrations are generic mock-ups, not any real provider's pages.

What should my file look like?

Two columns, one row per month, oldest first:

2015-02-28-0.003389
2015-03-31-0.032061
2015-04-300.022649
2015-05-310.011498
…

A table with a Year column and one column per month (Jan to Dec) works too, like the ones printed in many factsheets.
