Anything over a year is annualised (CAGR); shorter windows are absolute. The benchmark row is the index fund named below, priced daily by AMFI like every other scheme here. The category row is the median Direct plan in Liquid Funds — the middle fund, not a ranking, and a median rather than an average so that one mis-stated scheme cannot move it. As on 25 Sep 2026.

The worst it has been

Deepest fallTime to recoverToday, from its peak
0.0%0 monthsAt a high

A drawdown is the fall from a previous high to the low that followed it. It is the number that decides whether somebody stays invested — a fund can have an excellent ten-year return and still have been unbearable to hold in year four.

Every one-year period it has lived through

Best yearMedian yearWorst yearLosing years
7.5%7.1%6.2%0%
Worst6.2%Median7.1%Best7.5%now
The full spread of one-year outcomes, with the fund's actual last twelve months marked. It answers the question a single number cannot: is right now an ordinary year for this fund, or an unusual one?

Rolling returns ask a fairer question than a single five-year figure: not "what did it do from this one start date", but "what happened across every start date". A fund whose worst year is −45% is a different proposition from one whose worst is −8%, even if the averages match.

Each year on its own, January to December. Losing years hang below the line — averages hide them, and the years somebody actually had to sit through are the ones that decide whether they stayed.

What it actually holds

The real portfolio the AMC filed with AMFI. Nothing here is estimated — when a fund has no filing in our store the section simply does not appear. A fund is its holdings; the returns above are only what those holdings did.

Asset allocation

A fund's risk starts here — how much of it is even in the market — before any question of which stocks or which sectors. Cash is not idleness; it is the manager's choice not to be invested, and it shows up as a drag in a rising market and a cushion in a falling one.

How it compares in its category

Against the Liquid Funds Direct schemes with the highest three-year return. Same category, same plan — the only comparison that means anything. The list re-sorts itself as returns move; it is an ordering by one number, not a view on which fund anyone should hold.

Alpha and beta are against the category index. Max fall is the deepest peak-to-trough drop in each fund's own history, so a longer-running fund has had more chances to record a bad one. Click a column to sort. This is a sort, not a ranking, and nothing here is a recommendation.

What a Liquid Funds scheme is

Debt maturing within 91 days.

The place money waits. Redemption reaches the bank in one working day, and a small instant-redemption limit is usually available. Not a savings account, and not guaranteed — but as close as a fund gets.

Who it suits. Emergency money and anything needed within weeks.

How long money should stay. Days to 3 months.

Questions people ask

What is the NAV of Bajaj Finserv Liquid Fund — Direct Plan — Growth?

₹1,242.4100 as on 25 Sep 2026, from AMFI's daily NAV file. NAV is declared once each business day after markets close, so the figure here is the most recent one published.

What is the difference between the Direct and Regular plan of Bajaj Finserv Liquid Fund?

They hold the identical portfolio, run by the same manager. A Regular plan pays a distributor commission out of the fund, inside its expense ratio — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year more than Direct. That difference is charged on the whole balance, every year, so it compounds: on ₹1,00,000 held ten years a gap of 1.5 percentage points is roughly ₹1.4 lakh of ending value. Direct is the same fund without the commission.

What does the Growth option mean?

Growth reinvests everything the fund earns back into the NAV. Nothing is paid out, so the NAV rises with returns and you are taxed only when you sell. For anybody who does not need income from the investment, Growth is the simpler and usually the more tax-efficient option.

What kind of scheme is this?

Debt maturing within 91 days. The place money waits. Redemption reaches the bank in one working day, and a small instant-redemption limit is usually available. Not a savings account, and not guaranteed — but as close as a fund gets.

How long should money stay in it?

Typically Days to 3 months. Emergency money and anything needed within weeks.
