Liquid Funds have recovered substantially from their fall on July 16. Remember, on July 15, the RBI took extraordinary measures to cut liquidity and that raised short term interest rates by 300 bps (3%). This caused liquid funds to fall in their NAV, as short term funds were impacted by rising yields (yields move inversely with prices). At the time there was a fear that these funds have a major problem. However, my view has been that if you don’t need the liquidity, stick around. The NAV will recover, and it has. Here’s the NAVs of all liquid funds since then, and the return from July 15.
