What Is A Systematic Transfer Plan?
A systematic withdrawal plan allows you to methodically withdraw money ( redeemed units) from your investment corpus. Similar to SIP, in an SWP, the amount and the time interval of withdrawal is decided by the investor. The predetermined amount is then automatically debited to the chosen account of the investor. If the market is down, then more number of units will have to be sold to acquire the desired amount. If the market is doing well, then fewer units will have to be sold to attain the desired amount. Simply put, If SIP is about investment, SWP lets you redeem at your preferred speed.
How Can SWP Help You As An Investor?
If you do not want a lump sum withdrawal, then SWP might be a good option for you. As you may know, the market is highly unpredictable. SWP also helps to avoid exiting at the wrong time. For retirees, this will provide a steady income to meet their needs, without worrying about using up all of their money. For salaried individuals, this might be the extra push needed to make ends meet. Other benefits of SWP include:-
- Ease and comfort of automated transactions
- Ability to customize your cash flow to suit your needs and long term goals.
- Control on your investment and income at the same time.
