A Better Way To Park Your Emergency Fund

This pandemic has been a wake-up call for all of us and has stressed the importance of having a sound financial backup plan. A plan that can help you meet unforeseen expenses whether that be a health emergency or unemployment etc. If you are in urgent need of funds, you will likely redeem or liquidate your investments in the spur of the moment and without thinking twice.

However by fully redeeming your holdings, you stand to disrupt your wealth creation goals. Instead, we have an alternative for you, a safe option that will not only provide liquidity when you need it but also will continue to earn you returns until you actually “use” the funds.

Instead of completely withdrawing your investment and leaving it idle in a bank account, you can “SWITCH” or move units from your current fund temporarily to a Liquid Fund.

Let’s first understand how Switch differs from Redemption:

A Liquid fund is similar to a saving Bank account in several ways while offering additional benefits as outlined below:

Quantum Liquid Fund – Salient Features

To facilitate the ease of Switching in an emergency or otherwise, it is a good idea to start your Quantum Liquid Fund today to avoid any unnecessary administrative delays. You can start investing in Quantum Liquid Fund with lumpsum of Rs.5000 and thereafter make additional purchase with an SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) of just Rs. 500, and build it from there.

Safe Money As Part of Your Asset Allocation

Nobody knows how long the Coronavirus pandemic will continue and how much time will it take for the economy to recover. So, it’s a good idea to anyway have safe money as part of your portfolio to take care of unforeseen expenses.

Ideally, you need to deploy enough money to keep up your consumption pattern for 12 months or longer, depending on your risk appetite.

After you have the sufficient safe money, you can then think of further adding to your Equity or Gold portfolio using the 12-20-80 Quantum Asset Allocation Strategy.

Please note that the above suggested fund allocation only and is not to be considered as investment advice / recommendation, please seek independent professional advice and arrive at an informed investment decision before making any investments.

✔ Ability to “Switch” investments easily in times of need without sacrificing opportunities
