growth mutual fund. This is why they seek out companies
with proven track record of great revenue growth or
younger companies with potential. On the flip side, the
risk is also on the higher side.

APPRECIATION
STP
FLEXI STP
In fixed STP , the investors takes outa fixed some of money from
one investment to another.
In capital appreciation STP , the investors takes the profit part out
of one investment and invest in the other.
In flexi STP , the investor has a choice to transfer a variable amount
. The fixed amount will be the minimum amount and the variable
amount depends upon the volatility in the market.

HOW TO START A STP
Say if a person wants to invest Rs 10 Lakhs in
an equity fund through STP, he will have to first
select a debt fund which allows STP to invest in
that particular equity fund. Generally both the
funds are managed by the same fund
house. After selecting the debt fund invest all
the money that is Rs 10 Lakhs in the debt fund.
Now you have to decide an amount which will
be transferred from debt fund to equity fund.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan
Returns on Investments Allows investors to withdraw
during emergencies
Investors remain invested in the
bulk of the corpus but redeem
only what is required.
Tax-efficient way to
enjoy investment
A systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) is a facility which allows you to withdraw a
fixed amount from your mutual fund every month. You can also do annual, half-
yearly or quarterly withdrawals through SWPs. With every withdrawal, the value of
your investment in the fund is reduced by the market value of the units you have
withdrawn.

RUPEE-
COST
AVERAGING
An SWP automatically redeems some mutual fund units every months to
meet your monthly expenses, regardless of market levels. It thus protects
you from withdrawing large amounts due to panic/fear when there are
market corrections and also withdraws money even when markets are
making new highs and thus protects you from the impulse to invest more.
SWPs help investors benefit when they withdraw their investments due to
rupee cost averaging. Rupee cost averaging gives an investor the average
NAV of a mutual fund over several months/years rather than making him
dependent on a NAV at a single point of time.

TAX
EFFICCIENCY
A SWP helps an investor get a fixed periodic amount which can help
him/her by get a steady income in his/her retirement years or
managing his/her child’s educational expenses.
Each withdrawal made through an SWP is considered to be a
combination of capital and income. Tax is only payable on the
income component and not the capital component

WITHDRAWL
A fixed periodic withdrawal allows the unit
holder to withdraw a fixed sum on regular
intervals, say monthly. The mutual fund
house will sell units equivalent to the SWP
amount and transfer the amount to the
investor’s account.
In the appreciation withdrawal method,
mutual fund units holder makes the choice
to withdraw capital appreciation on his
fund at a fixed frequency.

over time and only some parts
of your entire investment will
face the market volatility

different levels of the market
cycle. When the market is low
the fund manager shift the
investments from one fund to
another and can redeem when
the market is at its peak. It will
help to reduce the per-unit
cost of buying the units.
c. Build the habit of
investing
When you initiate SIP, you
invest a manageable but fixed
sum in mutual fund scheme,
instilling saving habit in you.

potent equity schemes if it
suits your investment needs.

consistently earned higher
long-term (5+ years) returns
compared to lumpsum
investments.
