Suitable For
Several people are confused when it comes to liquid funds vs fixed deposits. The Reliance Liquid Fund- Treasury Plan is suitable for investors who seek to earn an income over the short-term, and/or want to make an investment in debt and money market instruments.
And while liquid funds and fixed deposits offer similar returns, the lock-in period and the exit charges on fixed deposits are not suitable for people who want to make an income over a short period of time.
Risk Level: Low Risk
Why it’s the best liquid fund?
1. Instant Redemption
Liquid funds will give you money in a matter of minutes, with the help of technology. However, SEBI has capped the instant redemption limit to Rs 50,000 a day or 90% of your folio’s value, whichever is lower. Anything over and under this limit will be credited in one business day.
2. Low Risk
You can reasonably expect your liquid funds to give you around 6-7% returns in a year at a low amount of risk involved.
3. Low Investment Amount
The minimum investment amount of Rs 100 allows for even the most cautious of people to take a taste of investment in mutual funds.
That’s why we call it the best liquid fund with instant redemption.
