All about LIQUIDCASE, India’s first growth liquid ETF by Zerodha Fund House

@VishalJain I would like to know your views on:

  1. Since Liquidcase tracks Nifty 1D rate as its benchmark, is there any impact of the scheduled calendar rebalancing of the indices? https://www.niftyindices.com/resources/index-rebalancing-schedule

  2. For the past 6 months, Liquidcase has been lagging behind its benchmark Nifty 1D rate. Liquidcase (3.13%) vs Nifty 1D (3.28%).

  1. The expense ratio of Liquidcase remains 0.26% despite the AUM growing significantly since the NFO launch. Rs 1698.38 crore as mentioned on the website. Zerodha Nifty 1D Rate Liquid ETF | LIQUIDCASE Mutual Fund

Though the expense ratio of Liquidcase (0.26%, growth based) is lower than the Nippon Liquidbees ETF (0.69%, i can understand higher because of its dividend-paying nature), if you notice, the category expense ratio is 0.19%. So there indeed is room to make the expense ratio of Liquidcase even lower. Especially, combined with point #2 growing AUM.

  1. If you compare the tracking error of Liquidcase to the peer Liquid ETFs, you’d notice that Zerodha Liquidcase tracking error is 0.12% which is higher than the peers. So again, Liquidcase investors deserve lower tracking error. This will improve performance of Liquidcase when compared to its benchmark i.e. point #1.

I am willing to park some unused funds. So doing my homework and raising such questions after deeply looking into Liquidcase. More so because I was among those who requested this product long back and have been keenly watching it since its launch.

Over to you now :slightly_smiling_face:
