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A fixed amount that is to be withdrawn from the scheme is defined.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.

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...

Health insurance guide - Part I

Insurance, by definition, is morbid. What if I die suddenly? What if my home caught fire? What if I had to undergo expensive medical treatment? What if something that I thought happened only to others befell me? Insurers, who work with large samples, calculate the probability of such an event and, hence, the possibility of them having to pay out a sum of money to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effects of that disaster. However, the possibility of you undergoing some kind of expensive medical treatment during your lifetime is far more likely than you dying suddenly or your house burning down. Given that costs at private healthcare facilities, where you are most likely to land up, is high, and, doubling every four years 10 months or so, the rest of your money life could easily go out of whack if you had to incur such expenses. Just 12 per cent of India's population is covered with some sort of health insurance. Pared to the bone, for a comparatively small price, health insu...
