Hey everyone,
I've been doing monthly investments (DCA style - regular contributions to ETFs) for a few years now. I have this Excel spreadsheet that I've been updating forever, and honestly... it's getting messy.
Every month I manually add my purchases, try to figure out if I'm still balanced, calculate my actual returns vs just looking at the broker's numbers (which don't really show the full picture when you're buying regularly), and it's just... tedious.
I keep thinking there must be a better tool out there, but everything I find is either too complicated or doesn't really fit how I invest.
So I'm curious:
- How do you guys track your regular investments?
- Are you also stuck with spreadsheets or have you found something that actually works?
- What's the most annoying part for you? For me it's definitely the rebalancing calculations.
I'd honestly pay something monthly for a tool that just does this automatically and shows me clearly when I need to adjust my allocations. Not much, maybe €5-10/month? But it would need to be dead simple.
Anyone else feel the same or am I just overthinking this? Would you pay for a tool?
