SWP
Also known as: Systematic Withdrawal Plan, Withdrawal Plan
Systematic Withdrawal Plan - Regular withdrawal of fixed amounts from mutual fund investments.
Detailed Explanation
SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) allows investors to withdraw a predetermined amount regularly from their mutual fund holdings. Unlike lumpsum redemptions, SWP provides steady cash flow while keeping remaining corpus invested. It's tax-efficient as each withdrawal is treated separately for capital gains calculation. SWP is particularly useful for retirement income or systematic profit booking from volatile investments like smallcaps.
