95% ఫండ్‌లు 7.25% నుండి 7.75% మధ్య రాబడిని కలిగి ఉంటాయి. అందువల్ల లిక్విడ్ ఫండ్ రాబడులు చాలా దగ్గరగా ఉన్నాయిపరిధి మరియు ఒకరు "ఉత్తమ లిక్విడ్ ఫండ్"ని ఎంచుకోకపోయినా, అవి అత్యధిక లేదా సగటు రాబడికి చాలా దూరంగా ఉండవు.

2. లిక్విడ్ మ్యూచువల్ ఫండ్‌ల పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియో & మెచ్యూరిటీ ప్రొఫైల్

లిక్విడ్ మ్యూచువల్ ఫండ్‌ల పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోలో 91 రోజుల కంటే తక్కువ మెచ్యూరిటీ ఉన్న సెక్యూరిటీలు ఉంటాయి. ఒకరు వెళ్లి క్రెడిట్ నాణ్యత గురించి మాట్లాడవచ్చు (సాధారణ మాటలలో, పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోలోని సెక్యూరిటీలు ఎంత మంచివి) మరియు పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోలను వేరు చేయడానికి ప్రయత్నించవచ్చు, అయితే, నిజమైన అనుభవం ఏమిటంటే, పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోలో కొన్ని చాలా చెడ్డ నాణ్యతను కలిగి ఉన్నట్లయితే తప్ప సెక్యూరిటీలు, లిక్విడ్ ఫండ్స్ సమస్య కాకూడదు. ఇప్పటి వరకు ఏదీ తెలియలేదుడిఫాల్ట్ లిక్విడ్ ఫండ్ పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోలు మరియు కంపెనీలు సాధారణంగా చిన్న మెచ్యూరిటీ పేపర్లపై డిఫాల్ట్ చేయవు. అయితే, పైన పేర్కొన్న ఫండ్ యొక్క పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియో ఫండ్ యొక్క రాబడి మరియు దాని తదుపరి పనితీరుపై ఆలోచనలను ఇస్తుంది. "గత పనితీరు భవిష్యత్ పనితీరుకు సూచిక కాదు" అని తరచుగా చెబుతారు మరియు లిక్విడ్ మ్యూచువల్ ఫండ్స్ కోసం, ఎవరైనా కొన్ని అంచనాలను చేయడానికి ప్రయత్నించినట్లయితే, వారు చేయాల్సిందల్లా పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియోను చూడటమే. సెక్యూరిటీల రకం (కమర్షియల్ పేపర్లు (CPలు), డిపాజిట్ల సర్టిఫికేట్ (CDలు) మొదలైనవి), క్రెడిట్ నాణ్యత మరియు దిగుబడి ఫండ్ యొక్క రిటర్న్ ప్రొఫైల్ ఎలా ఉంటుందనే దాని గురించి ఒక ఆలోచన ఇస్తుంది. లిక్విడ్ ఫండ్ పనితీరుకు పోర్ట్‌ఫోలియో నాణ్యత మంచి సూచిక. అన్ని లిక్విడ్ మ్యూచువల్ ఫండ్‌ల మెచ్యూరిటీ సాధారణంగా రెండు రోజులు మరియు 91 రోజుల కంటే చాలా తక్కువ. చాలా సందర్భాలలో ఇది సమానంగా ఉంటుంది.
