You can Redeem Liquid Funds Instantly

 





Liquid funds with instant redemption facility offer investors a clear advantage over bank FDs.

Interest rates on bank fixed deposits are likely to fall further because of the surplus liquid ity that's been pumped into the system after the demonetisation exercise. Liquid and ultra short-term funds have emerged as a more viable alternative for parking the excess cash lying in bank savings accounts. These funds offer a much higher yield for investors.

However, while bank fixed deposits (FD) offer instant liquidity to investors, liquid funds, until recently, took at least one business day to return investors' money.This has changed recently, with two prominent fund houses--Reliance Mutual Fund and DSP BlackRock Mutual Fund--offering instant redemption facility on their liquid funds.


Both these ultra-short term schemes, allow investors to withdraw their money any time by placing a redemption request and the money is credited to the investor's bank account instantaneously. Investors can redeem up to 95% of the amount in their account, subject to a maximum of `2 lakh per day. The minimum withdrawal amount is `500 for Reliance Money Manager and `100 for DSP BlackRock Money Manager Fund. While other fund houses are expected to follow suit, the market watchdog, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), is reportedly exploring the option of making instant withdrawals, subject to certain caps, mandatory for liquid funds.


Reliance mutual fund also offers Any Time Money Card--an ATM cum debit card--which offers easy accessibility to money parked in its liquid schemes through Visa-enabled ATMs. Investors can withdraw upto 50% of their corpus in the scheme, or `50,000 per day, whichever is less. It also doubles up as a debit card, where investors can spend upto 50% of the corpus or `1 lakh, per day. This facility has been extended to investors of Reliance Liquid Fund--treasury and cash plans--and Reliance Money Manager Fund.


The added benefit of easy liquidity makes liquid funds a better alternative to both savings bank account and bank FDs. "With instant redemption facility, liquid funds now carry a distinct advantage over the traditional savings avenues.They are particularly useful for those with a large balance in their savings accounts, which is highly tax inefficient for interest income in excess of `10,000. Even a sweep-in fixed deposit facility--where funds can be transferred between savings bank and fixed deposits--would yield sub-optimal returns compared to Investing money in a liquid fund.


Liquid funds are essentially very low-risk funds, investing in highly liquid money market instruments with a residual maturity of not more than 91 days. As such, the volatility in these instruments is very low. Liquid funds have delivered around 7.6% over the past one year.Since these are debt funds, gains are taxed in accordance with one's income tax slab, if held for less than three years. Assuming a 7.5% return on liquid funds, after-tax returns work out to be 6.8%, 6% and 5.3% respectively for individuals in the 10, 20 and 30% tax bracket. This currently works out higher than the after-tax return from bank fixed deposits.

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...

Health insurance guide - Part I

Insurance, by definition, is morbid. What if I die suddenly? What if my home caught fire? What if I had to undergo expensive medical treatment? What if something that I thought happened only to others befell me? Insurers, who work with large samples, calculate the probability of such an event and, hence, the possibility of them having to pay out a sum of money to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effects of that disaster. However, the possibility of you undergoing some kind of expensive medical treatment during your lifetime is far more likely than you dying suddenly or your house burning down. Given that costs at private healthcare facilities, where you are most likely to land up, is high, and, doubling every four years 10 months or so, the rest of your money life could easily go out of whack if you had to incur such expenses. Just 12 per cent of India's population is covered with some sort of health insurance. Pared to the bone, for a comparatively small price, health insu...
