What are SIP / STP / SWP?
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP): An SIP is a method of investing a fixed sum, on a regular basis, in a mutual fund scheme. It is similar to regular saving schemes like a recurring deposit. An SIP allows one to buy units on a given date each month or quarter, so that one can implement a saving plan for themselves. Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP):SWP is a smart way to plan for your future needs by withdrawing amounts systematically from your existing portfolio either to reinvest in another portfolio or to meet your expenses. Your savings no longer remain idle. Your money can earn better returns if reinvested, instead of lying idle in a savings account for meeting your regular payments. Systematic Transfer Plan (STP): A plan that allows the investor to give a mandate to the fund to periodically and systematically transfer a certain amount from one scheme to another.
