Emergency Basket | Goal-Based Index Fund Investing

01 THE STORY

STORY OF THE BASKET

Investing becomes clearer when the goal comes first.

An unexpected expense can interrupt even a carefully planned financial journey. An emergency fund is meant to create a financial buffer for situations such as unexpected expenses, temporary income disruption or other near-term needs. The Emergency Basket is presented around this type of financial goal and a short investment horizon.

02 ABOUT THIS BASKET

Why this basket exists.

The Emergency Basket is designed around short-term emergency planning and liquidity considerations. It brings together the index funds included in the basket so investors can explore a structured approach instead of treating emergency planning as an unplanned financial decision.

HOW IT HELPS

This basket brings overnight and liquid index funds into one view so you can review a short-horizon, lower-risk-oriented allocation relative to MFnxt’s equity-heavy baskets. It is organised around near-term needs such as unexpected expenses or a pause in income. Redemption still follows the scheme’s normal processing timelines. Market values can change.
