Top 7 SWP Mutual Funds: Rs 50 lakh investment, Rs 70K monthly pension for 10 years, and Rs 42.30 lakh balance value; know more details

Top 7 SWP Mutual Funds: A systematic investment plan (SIP) is a popular way of mutual fund investment. As per the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMF), more investors are investing in mutual funds through the SIP route than the lump sum option. While an SIP is an investment option with a fixed amount every deposit cycle, a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) is a withdrawal option where one withdraws a fixed amount every withdrawal cycle. 

How does SWP work?

An investor invests a lump sum amount in a mutual fund. While the fund grows, the fund house sells the investor's net asset values (NAVs) every month to provide them with a monthly income.

If the rate of withdrawal is lower compared to the growth of the fund, one can get the monthly income for many decades.

E.g., if the fund is growing at a 10 per cent annual rate and their rate of withdrawal is five per cent, not only will one get the monthly income for decades, but their fund will also keep growing. 

Like SIP, SWP also provides the benefit of rupee cost averaging.

As a result, when the NAV rate rises, the fund house sells fewer units every month; when the NAV rate dips, the fund house sells more units.

Other than that, SWP also provides compound growth.

So, if one sticks to their investment for a long time, their investments are more likely to grow faster. 

Here's a list of seven SWP mutual funds that have given at least Rs 70,000 in monthly income in the last 10 years on a Rs 50 lakh lump sum investment and where, after withdrawing 120 instalments, the top fund still has a Rs 42.30 lakh balance in it.
