Optimizing Cash-Equivalent Assets
With the 50:50 margin rule in place, traders must keep half their margin in cash equivalents. Selecting the right vehicle ensures capital efficiency. Analysts at SP RESEARCHVIA PVT. LTD. compare Liquid ETFs and Liquid Mutual Funds.
Should you choose Liquid ETFs or Liquid Mutual Funds for margin pledging?
Liquid ETFs (like Liquid Bees) are superior for active traders because they can be pledged instantly on brokerage platforms with minimal latency, whereas Liquid Mutual Funds require T+1 day for settlement and pledging.
Comparing Expense Ratios and Haircuts
Liquid ETFs typically have lower expense ratios and standard haircuts (often around 10%), making them a highly cost-efficient way to park idle trading funds while meeting regulatory margin criteria.
