Zerodha’s Hero Fund LIQUIDCASE Explodes to Rs 4,700 Crore — The Kamath Brothers’ Secret Weapon
Zerodha, the stockbroking platform founded by the Kamath brothers, Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, continues to redefine investing in India with its zero brokerage model and focus on cost-efficient investment solutions. Building on its massive popularity, Zerodha launched its fund house, Zerodha Fund House, in late 2023 with a vision centered around index-based investing — considered by the founders to be a transparent and efficient way for investors to participate in the market.

Since its inception, Zerodha Fund House, founded by the Kamath brothers, Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, has seen remarkable growth, currently managing assets close to Rs 6,400 crore under management (AUM), serving more than 7 lakh investors across India.
Nithin Kamath’s Hero Fund
In a recent update, Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath, one of the Kamath brothers who founded Zerodha, shared key data about the platform’s success, highlighting a particular “hero fund” — the LIQUIDCASE ETF. Launched just 18 months ago, LIQUIDCASE has skyrocketed from an AUM of Rs 843 crore in April 2024 to an impressive Rs 4,700 crore today, marking it as one of the most successful Indian retail ETF launches to date.
Kamath emphasized the company’s commitment to offering simple, direct, and cost-efficient index funds and ETFs without heavy marketing, yet managing to attract and serve a vast base of retail investors.
“Despite not being loud about the AMC, 7 lakh investors have saved Rs 6,400 crore in our funds,” Kamath said.
“Our hero fund, LIQUIDCASE ETF, reached Rs 4,700 crore in assets in just 15 months, which is a testament to the growing trust retail investors place in Zerodha Fund House.”
Revolutionizing Retail Investing
Zerodha’s entry into the asset management space with a focus on index funds and ETFs is seen as a disruptive force, especially for retail investors who have long sought low-cost, transparent, and straightforward investment products. The success of the LIQUIDCASE ETF and the fund house’s rapid growth underline the increasing appetite among Indian investors for passive investment strategies.
The Kamath brothers’ approach — combining technology, zero brokerage, and direct-to-investor funds — continues to challenge traditional players in the Indian financial markets, making investing more accessible to millions.
