Debt Mutual Funds: Money may be needed suddenly. Emergency funds should be considered for this.
Emergency Fund:
Recently, many people have faced problems related to money in a situation like a lockdown. Due to the closure of business, the income of the people stopped or decreased, due to which many people had to spend money by saving or borrowing. Although the effect of lockdown has reduced, one should keep himself ready for any such situation. Money may be needed suddenly. For this, emergency funds should be considered through better financial planning. The question arises that in the present situation where to invest money to create such a fund.
Banking and PSU funds giving higher returns than FD, why investors now
Why Emergency Fund is important?
Talking about financial planning, many people have confidence in safe small savings schemes like FD, RD or PPF. But whenever there is a need for sudden money, then there is a loss on breaking these schemes. At the same time, retail investors who invest in the stock market or mutual fund with a long-term goal are never in a position to sell it without meeting the target. In such an emergency fund is very useful, so that money can be withdrawn when needed.
Another option is the savings account of the bank. But here the returns are so low that in a way of increasing inflation, your money is getting boiled in a way here. In such a situation, debt funds such as liquid funds, ultra short term or short-duration funds are advised to invest in overnight funds to keep an expert emergency fund, where you can get double or even higher returns than a savings account.
