But lately, it’s become muscle memory to run everything past ChatGPT.  Just a quick: “Is there a better option than LiquidBeES?” It turns out, there is.  LIQUIDCASE by Zerodha AMC.  Difference was not subtle and decision was easier : - Expense ratio: Less than half of LiquidBeES - Net returns: ~6.2% vs ~5.7% (1-year annualized) - Same safety, same liquidity - AUM already >1/3rd of LiquidBeES in record time This is how discovery is changing.
