Liquid cash parking

Liquid and Ultra-Short Duration funds where Cost and Stability outweigh Yield Quality. For surplus cash above savings-account thresholds and below 1-year horizons, basis points of TER are the controllable variable.

Liquid funds are not deposit-insured. The 'safest' liquid fund on this list still carries credit and duration risk vs a bank deposit. For an actual emergency reserve, keep a portion in a sweep deposit account regardless of TER advantage here.

Wave 4.5 — every score is peer-relative within sub-category (Large Cap vs Large Cap, Liquid Debt vs Liquid Debt). Pillars are asset-class-aware: Equity / Hybrid funds get Resilience / Performance / Conviction / Cost; Debt funds get Yield Quality / Stability / Conviction / Cost; Index / ETF funds get Tracking / Cost / Liquidity / Stability. A separate Data Quality bucket gates whether each score is shown. This is not investment advice.
