Understanding mutual funds
Understand Mutual Funds
What is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund pools money from multiple investors and invests it across securities according to the scheme's objective.
How SIP Works
A SIP allows investors to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, helping create an investment discipline over time.
Risk & Return
Different mutual fund categories carry different levels of risk. Market-linked investments can rise or fall in value.
Diversification
Mutual funds can spread investments across multiple securities and asset classes, depending on the scheme.
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks and returns are not guaranteed.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan
What is SWP?
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan lets you receive a fixed amount at regular intervals from an existing mutual fund investment, instead of redeeming the whole amount at once. It is usually discussed alongside a SIP — a SIP helps you invest regularly, while an SWP helps structure regular payouts from an accumulated investment, such as during retirement. Each withdrawal reduces the units you hold, and the amount received depends on market performance when the payout is made.
SWP availability, minimum withdrawal amount and tax treatment vary by scheme and by individual circumstances.
