Systematic Withdrawal Plan
SWP is a facility offered by mutual funds to enable
the investors to redeem the units in small portions at regular intervals so
that short term goals or monthly income needs are met. The intervals period can
range from monthly or quarterly. SWPs are preferred choice by retired
individuals as it can help in creating regular flow of income from their
investment corpus in mutual funds. Other investors can opt for this to pay
EMIs, pay bills, & to take care of other expenses.
SWP can be effectively used to make better use of
surplus funds as it allows you to invest that amount in mutual fund schemes
& facilitates withdrawal as per your requirement. It also offers capital
protection as returns on arbitrage funds are risk-free.
