Abstract
Purpose: The study objective was to establish the effect of liquidity management on the
financial performance of Teachers DT Saccos in Kenya and to evaluate the moderating effect of
the size on liquidity management and financial performance of Teachers DT Saccos in Kenya.
Methodology: This study adopted a post-positivist research paradigm to interpret the effect of
liquidity management on the financial performance of deposit-taking Saccos in Kenya. The study
adopted a descriptive, survey research design. The target population was 18 Saccos classified
under teachers' based DT SACCOs according to SASRA records of December 2017 (SASRA,
2018). Census Methodology was used. The study used a data capture form that has been
designed by the researcher to collect the data on the independent variables of liquidity
management, moderator variable size and dependent variable which was DT Saccos financial
Performance. Data were analysed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics
with the statistical package STATA. Analysed data was presented using graphs and tables.
Findings: The study established that there was a significant effect of capacity and purchased
funds on the financial performance of Teachers DT Saccos. The study also established that cash
position, total deposit, and core deposit had an insignificant effect on the financial performance
of Teachers DT Saccos and that size of the Sacco affects the relationship between liquidity
management and financial performance of Teachers DT Saccos.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended the development
of a more robust liquidity monitoring policy as well as enhancement of the oversight on liquidity
management practices. The study also recommended that Teachers DT Saccos should reduce the
provisions of loan losses as well as their reliance on external borrowing. Further, the study
recommended future studies using other factors influencing liquidity in the Teachers DT Saccos.
Lastly, the study recommends a comparative study using other financial intermediaries with
similar deposit and asset features such as Deposit Taking Micro Finance Institutions.
