How SWP Helps You Generate Regular Income From Your Mutual Fund

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) allows mutual fund investors to turn their investment into a regular income stream. This option is especially beneficial for retirees or anyone looking for consistent cash flow without withdrawing their entire savings. With SWP, you decide how much to withdraw periodically, while the remaining amount stays invested, generating returns. This balance between liquidity and growth makes an SWP an effective financial tool.

How SWP generates regular income

  1. Fixed withdrawals

SWP enables you to withdraw a predetermined amount at regular intervals, ensuring steady income. For example, if you invest Rs. 10 lakh and set a monthly SWP of Rs. 30,000, this amount is credited to your account every month, much like a paycheck.

  1. Partial redemption

Each SWP comprises two parts:

  • Principal investment: A portion of your original investment.
  • Earnings/ returns: The gains earned on your investment.

              This method allows the corpus to remain intact while providing regular payouts.

  1. Market-linked growth

Unlike fixed-income tools, SWP allows the remaining corpus to grow based on market performance. This helps you beat inflation over the long term while ensuring liquidity.

Benefits of SWP for income generation

  1. Customisable withdrawals: Choose how much and how frequently you want to withdraw, offering flexibility based on your needs.
  2. Tax efficiency: Only the gains portion is taxed, making it more tax-friendly than fully taxable techniques like fixed deposits.
  3. Inflation protection: Unlike fixed-return products, SWP leverages market growth to offset inflation.
  4. Liquidity with growth: You don’t have to lock in your funds, and they remain invested while you withdraw.

Example: SWP in action

Imagine investing Rs. 15 lakh in a balanced mutual fund earning 8% annualised returns. By setting up a monthly withdrawal of Rs. 20,000, you create a steady flow of Rs. 2.4 lakh annually. At the same time, the unwithdrawn corpus continues to grow, extending the longevity of your funds.

How SWP compares to traditional options

Fixed deposits

  • Fixed deposits lock your funds for a set period, with interest payouts often insufficient to combat inflation.
  • SWP, on the other hand, offers better growth potential as the remaining investment stays market linked.

Monthly Income Schemes (MIS)

  • MIS guarantees fixed returns but lacks flexibility in terms of withdrawals.
  • SWP is adaptive to your needs and tax-efficient too.

Optimising SWP for maximum benefits

  1. Choose the right fund: Equity funds offer higher returns but come with risks, while debt funds are more stable. A balanced fund can offer the best of both worlds.
  2. Set realistic withdrawal rates: Avoid withdrawing more than the annualised return to prevent depleting your corpus.
  3. Review performance periodically: Monitor your investment to ensure it aligns with your financial goals.

Who should use SWP?

  • Retirees: To replace regular income after retirement.
  • Freelancers/Professionals: To supplement uneven income streams.
  • Risk-averse investors: To balance income needs and capital preservation.

Conclusion

SWP provides a seamless way to generate a regular income while keeping your investments productive. It’s particularly advantageous for those balancing liquidity needs with long-term wealth preservation. Whether you’re planning for retirement or looking to supplement your income, SWP offers a flexible, tax-effective, and inflation-friendly solution. By choosing the right fund and withdrawal strategy, you can create a sustainable income stream without exhausting your corpus.
