What's inside the fund factsheet template?
Twelve 16:9 slides. Every chart and table is a native PowerPoint object you can edit, and every slide has speaker notes that explain what goes there.
| # | Slide | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cover | Fund, share class and the date the data is taken from |
| 2 | Factsheet page 1 | Objective, fund facts, growth of 10,000 chart, performance table against the benchmark |
| 3 | Factsheet page 2 | Top 10 holdings, sector and region allocation, risk statistics, commentary, disclaimer box |
| 4 | Performance | 1 month, 3 months, YTD, 1 year, 3 years and since launch, plus calendar year returns |
| 5 | Growth of 10,000 | Line chart of the fund against the benchmark since launch |
| 6 | Top 10 holdings | Holding, sector, region and weight, with the top 10 total |
| 7 | Allocation | Sector and region bar charts that each add up to 100% |
| 8 | Risk statistics | Volatility, beta, Sharpe ratio, tracking error, information ratio, maximum drawdown, each explained |
| 9 | Fund facts | Launch date, size, share class, price, charges, dealing, ISIN |
| 10 | Manager commentary | What happened, what changed, outlook |
| 11 | Important information | A disclaimer placeholder, clearly marked as sample and not advice |
| 12 | Keeping it current | How to refresh it by hand or automatically |
The sample fund is the Acme Global Equity Fund and its holdings are fictional companies. Every figure is made up, and the disclaimer slide is a placeholder for your compliance team's wording, not real regulatory text.
How do you use the template by hand?
- Download the file and open it in PowerPoint.
- Fill in the performance table and the fund facts from your administrator's month end file. Periods over a year are annualised; keep it that way.
- Update each chart: right click it, choose Edit Data, and paste your figures into the sheet that opens. Start with the growth of 10,000 line and the two allocation charts.
- Update the holdings and risk tables, then copy the same numbers onto the two factsheet pages so both versions agree.
- Rewrite the commentary, replace the disclaimer with your approved wording, delete the sample labels and save it as next month's starting point.
The first month takes a couple of hours. The catch is that steps 2 to 4 come back every month, for every fund and share class.
How do you wire it to live data with INSYNCR?
If your month end figures already live in an Excel workbook or a SQL Server table, you can link the factsheet to them once and refresh it each month instead of retyping. INSYNCR does this from inside PowerPoint.
- Install INSYNCR. It appears as a tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
- Select a chart, table or number on a slide and link it to the matching cells in Excel or the matching query in SQL Server.
- On the first working day of the month, refresh. Both factsheet pages and the slides update in place, and you only rewrite the commentary.
The template's charts and tables are native PowerPoint objects, so links attach without rebuilding any slide. INSYNCR runs in PowerPoint on Windows (Office 2016 and later), not on a Mac or in the browser. Excel works on every plan; SQL Server needs the Professional plan.

Questions about this template
What should a monthly fund factsheet include?
Most factsheets carry the objective, key facts and charges, performance against a benchmark over standard periods, calendar year returns, a growth chart, the top holdings, sector and region allocation, a few risk figures, a short commentary and the legal and risk wording. This template has a place for each.
Can I use the disclaimer in the template?
No. It's a placeholder that says the figures are sample data and not advice. The wording on a real factsheet depends on your firm, your fund and your market, so your compliance or legal team has to supply it.
Is the fund factsheet template really free?
Yes. There's no form, no sign up and no watermark beyond a small "Template by INSYNCR" line in the footer, which you can delete. You can use it for your own funds.
Does the template work in Google Slides or Keynote?
It opens in both, but the native charts may turn into static pictures, so editing the numbers is easiest in PowerPoint. Live data linking with INSYNCR needs PowerPoint on Windows.
