FD Laddering Strategy Balances Liquidity and Returns for Emergency Funds
FD laddering is a strategy that helps investors manage emergency funds by dividing a lump sum into multiple fixed deposits with varying maturities. This approach balances liquidity and returns, allowing access to funds at intervals without premature withdrawal penalties. It also enables investors to benefit from fluctuating interest rates linked to repo rate changes. Suitable for sums like 10-15 lakh, FD laddering offers flexibility compared to locking the entire amount in a single long-term deposit.
