Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual Fund’s flagship liquid scheme has nearly tripled investor wealth since its inception, celebrating 23 years with average assets under management (AUM) surpassing ₹10,500 crore.
The milestone achievement for the Baroda BNP Paribas Liquid Fund coincides with a robust phase in India’s mutual fund industry. As per AMFI data for June 2025, the total industry AUM rose to ₹74.41 lakh crore — reflecting a 13.2% increase over the quarter and 3.1% growth month-on-month. This surge was fueled by strong mark-to-market gains and consistent investor inflows, with June alone seeing net inflows of ₹49,095 crore. Notably, nearly 95% of these inflows came from equity and hybrid funds.
The scheme posted an annualised return of 7.09% over the past month. It maintains a modified duration of around 55 days, balancing liquidity needs with lower sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. Since inception, the fund has delivered a return of 6.92% and 7.24% in the past 1 year and 7.05% in 3 years, respectively.
In light of ongoing global market uncertainties driven by geopolitical tensions and shifting policies, liquid funds are gaining traction among investors. Experts note that these funds offer a better alternative to traditional savings accounts, providing an efficient way to manage surplus cash while ensuring quick access to funds.
While the fund’s history is impressive, experts caution that past returns do not guarantee future results. Investors are advised to thoroughly review all scheme-related documents and consult financial advisors before making investment decisions.
The Baroda BNP Paribas Liquid Fund, overseen by fund managers Vikram Pamnani and Gurvinder Singh Wasan, primarily invests in short-term debt instruments designed to minimise price volatility and credit risk. According to the fund house, an initial investment of ₹1 lakh at launch would have grown to approximately ₹2.99 lakh today.
Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual Fund manages 43 schemes spanning equity, hybrid, debt, and overseas fund-of-fund categories. The fund house operates as a joint venture between Bank of Baroda and BNP Paribas Asset Management, part of the global BNP Paribas Group. It boasts a presence in over 120 towns and cities across India.
