The emergency fund is good because it can salvage your investment portfolio in case of an investment downfall or a risk. It's even more advisable by the financial specialists to have such a fund.

Before investing in any investment instrument, an investor should allocate their funds for an emergency fund, which can be stored in a bank account or a short-term investment that is easily liquidated so that when you need emergency funds, you don't have to sell your investment instruments.
