Liquid Funds vs. Company FDs: Which is the Best to Invest Your Emergency Fund?

Listen to this article

Emergency funds are lifesavers. Literally!

It is the only reason you need to park your Emergency Fund in the right investment instrument.

But how do you find the right one?

3factors decide the right investment instrument: Principal Safety, Liquidity, and Return. And the dilemma is always between Liquid Funds and Company Fixed Deposits (Corporate FD).

Which of these is ideal for your Emergency Fund?

Some say, “Fixed deposits are safer than mutual funds.”

Only if you knew Company FDs are unsecured and carries risk.

Some say, “Company FD gets you better returns for idle money.”

We have seen a severe interest rate drop over the past several months. Company FDs are no exception, and they come with a TDS tag as well.

But Liquid Funds, even with no TDS and better liquidity, aren’t fetching great returns either.

So what matters the most?

Or are you overlooking other better options?

Holistic Investment is really nice and trust worthy financial planner. They plan things in realistic manner and also consider future dimensions of items also. They are always available for small or big queries, and also share knowledge and help you become more financial literate, and take right decisions in all financial matters.

Working with holistic investment planners was a really wonderful experience for me. For me the entire team had been very supportive in all ways. Their working strategy is well planned and methodical. They always keep me informed and updated about my investments, so that i can take informed decisions. The team first helps us understand the basics of investments, then they collect data, work with the data and then provide investments solutions according to our goals which i find it the best. Good luck to the entire team.

We have availed holistic service from last couple of years and are very happy with our decision. Their systematic approach has helped us plan our finances and meet our goals. They provide very comprehensive and detail plan and resource management every 6 months which ensures we are on right track to achieve our goals. Rajan and Ramalingam from holistic are always there to help us with our queries. They have also accommodated any changes to our goals or resources mid year in a professional manner.

For the past year, I have been interacting with Holistic Investment. I frequently read Nanayam Vikatan, which is a publication owned by the Vikatan family, and I was impressed by their financial advice. My brother also suggested holistic investing, and he also got excellent financial advice. Holistic Investment follows a methodical approach that I really liked because they first fully understand our financial situation "As Is," which includes "Assets" and "Liabilities," as well as our short-, mid-, and long-term goals, on the basis of which they provide a detailed plan on how to achieve our goals for which they are recommending various investment options. Even in the investment advice, why do they suggest particular mutual funds and what is the justification behind it, which adds transparency to the client. One essential factor is that they are always available. Even if I needed to make some urgent financial decisions, they were very helpful and kind to answer my questions via phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and emails. I was very happy with their service. Periodic reviews are also crucial, even though I have forgotten that they occur once every three months, and I also intend to renew this year.
