MF Withdrawal Transfer Plans

    Start Best Systematic Transfer Plans Online 


Mutual fund investors should be aware of two tools, Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs) and Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs), for their many benefits.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

How SWP works
* Allows an investor to withdraw a certain sum of money and units from a specified fund at regular intervals.

* Investors avoid market timing when withdrawing money from a scheme, in the same manner as a SIP or STP does when accumulating the money.


Types of SWPs 
Fixed withdrawal SWP
A fixed amount that is to be withdrawn from the scheme is defined.

Appreciation withdrawal SWP
Only the appreciated amount on investment is available for withdrawal on the SWP date.

How to Start SWP
1. Ascertain if the fund house allows SWP from the scheme. Fill up SWP form. Use separate forms for different schemes, plans and options.
2. Mention frequency of SWP.
3. Mention if SWP is for fixed withdrawal or appreciation withdrawal. Specify amount in case of fixed withdrawal.
4. Mention start and end date. Choose a date on which the SWP transaction should take place.  
5. Proceeds from SWP are credited to the bank account registered with the fund house. The SWP will continue for specified duration or till scheme corpus is exhausted.

Bow to Benefit from SWP
* SWP suits individuals who want a regular and fixed cash flow from investments. Retirees can harness this to create a regular annuity instead of depending on irregular dividend payouts.

* If SWP is for a short duration, only initiate from a debt fund for stable withdrawal. SWP from a pure equity fund may subject accumulated corpus to high volatility.
For longer term SWP, initiate from a hybrid fund to allow healthy growth in corpus.

* Do not opt for appreciation withdrawal SWP from equity fund if you want assured regular income.

* If doing SWP over long term, step up the SWP amount at yearly intervals to account for inflation.

SWP works better if you have a sizeable amount to allow a regular withdrawal (the minimum account balance should be Rs 25,000).

Note on SWP 
Some fund houses may not allow SWP in a scheme where you have an on going SIP/STP.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
