What is a Systematic investment plan?
Systematic investment plan, also known as SIP Investment, allows you to invest a fixed amount in a scheme of your choosing, at regular intervals. If you invest for a longer time, it can help to create good corpus. This helps to increase the return by not putting all your money at the peak of the market. SIP allows you to make investing a routine. SIP allows you to deduct a specified amount from your savings account at a time that you choose. This money is then put into the mutual funds scheme you have chosen.
You can choose the frequency of your SIP, from daily to weekly or monthly. You can also choose the SIP amount and put in more money if the returns are satisfactory and you have sufficient funds to invest. SIP schemes for debt are less desirable because they are less risky and volatile.
The SWP plan allows you to withdraw money from your lump sum investment at regular intervals. You can decide the amount and when you want to withdraw it. For those who have retired and need a steady source of income, SWP can be a great option. This option is also available to those with a specific need, such as a fixed amount of money for their children’s education.
