Should I do STP from liquid fund

I like to create an emergency fund. For that reason I have chosen Birla Sun Life Short Term fund Direct. Is my choice good? I also have Rs 120,000 in my account to invest in 2 ELSS Funds (Franklin India Tax Shield and Birla Sunlife Tax Plan 96) equally. Should I start a SIP or STP from liquid or debt fund? In STP which one will be better, monthly or weekly? Please help?

There are three parts to your query for which we have the following to comment –

1. The idea of creating an emergency corpus is good and Birla Sun Life Short Term Fund is a good fund

2. You can invest in both the funds in ELSS category as Franklin India Taxshield and Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 Funds are amongst the top performing ELSS funds

3. Doing a weekly STP will be better as you get 4 chances in a month to transfer a fixed amount from liquid fund to equity or balanced fund and that is the maximum extent to which you can do the rupee cost averaging.

Hope the above helps. Thanks for writing to us.
