Speaking on the difference between mutual fund SWP and mutual fund dividends, Vikas Puri, Vice President at Quant Capital said, "Mutual Fund SWP is given after a particular time period while the mutual fund dividends are given within a time frame. In fact, mutual funds SWP is chosen by the investor himself or herself while mutual fund dividends are awarded by the fund manager to the investor.

Elaborating upon which one is better and for whom, Kartik Jhaveri, Director — Wealth Management at Transcend Consultants said, "Those investors who want regular income after a fixed time interval should choose the mutual funds SWP mode while those who believe in an award on one's investment should go for the mutual fund dividend plan. However, mutual fund investors should avoid mutual fund SWP through equity mutual funds because it affects investment when stocks are on the downside.
