Parag Parikh Liquid Fund

Investment Objective and Approach

The Scheme seeks to deliver reasonable market related returns with lower risk and high liquidity through judicious investments in money market and debt instruments. The fund follows a conservative approach focused on capital preservation and liquidity, making it suitable for parking surplus funds temporarily.

The investment strategy emphasizes maintaining high liquidity while generating returns marginally higher than traditional bank accounts.

The fund's approach centers on:

- Investing in high-grade money market instruments and debt securities

- Maintaining portfolio maturity profile of up to 91 days

- Focus on capital preservation with low volatility

- Providing easy redemption facility for emergency fund requirements
