Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.58%, 7.03% and 6.37% respectively, and the fund is tagged under Balanced Risk. Our view is that this is a steady liquid fund with returns that have stayed close to the benchmark over longer horizons, though recent performance has been mixed rather than sharply ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is built around short-duration money-market style instruments such as certificates of deposit, treasury bills, commercial paper and reverse repo. That mix may suit investors who want liquidity-oriented exposure with measured return ambition, not those looking for fast growth or equity-like upside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

the near term, the fund has held up better than the benchmark at the 1-month level, but it trails slightly over 3 months. That tells us the recent path has not been uniformly stronger than the benchmark, even though the fund kept positive returns while the benchmark was negative over 1 month.<\/p>\n<p>The longer record looks more stable. The 3-year and 5-year figures are both close to the benchmark, with the fund ahead over 3 years and only marginally ahead over 5 years. That pattern suggests the fund has delivered consistency more than outperformance, which is usually what investors look for in a liquid fund.<\/p>\n<p>The daily pattern behind those numbers also points to a relatively contained movement profile. We do not see the kind of deep swings that would suit a risk-seeking investor, and the return path looks more like gradual compounding than abrupt jumps. For short-duration parking of cash, that is usually the more useful behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the fund\u2019s short-term results look a bit uneven, but the medium- to long-term picture remains orderly. Compared with the benchmark, it appears capable of staying close to the reference return line while preserving a liquid-fund style profile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Edelweiss_Liquid\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Edelweiss Liquid?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Edelweiss Liquid?

After that, the weights step down fairly quickly, with several positions clustered between roughly 2% and 4%.<\/p>\n<p>The fall from the first holding to the tenth is moderate rather than abrupt, which suggests the portfolio is not overly reliant on one security. At the same time, the presence of multiple certificates of deposit, treasury bills and commercial paper positions may help keep the portfolio anchored in short-tenor instruments.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 32.02% of the portfolio, and the scheme discloses 70 holdings in total.
