Tracking ULIPs And Other Investments

Given the current roller-coaster syndrome of the market, I felt a compulsive need to track my investments in India - investments I made ages back, and never bothered to track/manage. Majority of my investments are in ULIPs (duh! i know) and some in MFs. And I have been on a e-hunt (aka googling) ever since to find a website that will let me track different kinds of investments, esp. ULIPs. Apparently ULIPs were ignored for the longest by sites like moneycontrol, rediff money that provide financial portfolio management tools/software. May be because ULIPs weren't original to begin with (hybrids of MF and Insurance) or because they were the last of the crop of investment options.

After excessive googling, and giving up, I accidentally ran into the portfolio manager on moneycontrol and notice that they do allow tracking of ULIPs. I do not know when they added that feature, but I am glad that they did. The portfolio manager lets you track Mutual Funds, ULIPs, Bullion (Gold etc.), Fixed Income, Loans, Properties, Other Assets and Other Borrowings. It shows you the net worth with some neat options for drilling into details of trends/analysis.

This would be the equivalent of asking for the moon, but it would be awesome if moneycontrol adds other investment options like Postal (NSC, RD, FD, MIS) to their Portfolio Manager.
