Predictable Returns Better Than Your Bank Savings Account!
Parking money in a bank account may seem logical for the short term but let’s be honest, bank accounts may be liquid but not lucrative. This is where liquid funds become useful in terms of both returns and safety. The Cube Wealth app helps you invest in the best liquid funds out of the many liquid fund scheme options available.
What Are Liquid Funds?
Liquid Funds are low-risk debt mutual funds that invest your money in very short-term market instruments such as treasury bills, government securities, corporate bonds, etc. that hold the least amount of risk. Unlike other debt mutual funds, there is no exit load on liquid funds after 7 days.
Who Is This Suitable For?
Liquid funds are suitable for investors that want to earn better returns than their bank account and get fast access to their cash without any penalty or lock-in.
Investors turn to liquid funds for creating an emergency bucket which is ideally 3-6 months of living expenses (depending on the number of dependents you have).
Other reasons include saving up for part or all of their large annual expenses in conjunction with the other short term asset classes available in Cube Wealth.
