liquid asset

Readily available funds

A liquid asset is something of value that can be quickly converted to cash without significant loss.

Bank accounts and publicly traded stocks are highly liquid; real estate and collectibles are not.

We keep enough liquid assets to cover six months of expenses.

The term contrasts with assets that are tied up or illiquid.
