Systematic Withdrawal Plan: SWP is a popular mutual fund withdrawal system through which investors get a fixed monthly income after investing a lump sum amount. The scheme is more popular among senior citizens who need a monthly income/pension since their source of income may deplete with time. If used smartly, SWP can not only provide a monthly income but can also increase your corpus. It can be done if your rate of return is higher than the pension you are withdrawing. E.g., if you earn a 10 per cent annual return on your investments and withdraw a 7 per cent amount, your fund will increase even after withdrawing a good amount of pension.
