SIP vs SWP vs STP: Understanding the Key Differences and Choosing the Best Strategy f - muskaansharma - 12-27-2024
Hello everyone,
Finally, let’s talk about STP. This is a strategy often used by investors who want to transfer money from one mutual fund to another on a regular basis.
What is STP?
STP stands for Systematic Transfer Plan. With STP, you transfer a fixed amount of money from one mutual fund scheme to another at regular intervals. Typically, investors use STP to move funds from safer, lower-risk schemes (like debt funds) into higher-risk, higher-return schemes (like equity funds).
Benefits of STP:
- Risk Management: STP allows you to gradually move your investments from low-risk to high-risk funds, avoiding the risk of making a lump-sum investment in volatile markets.
- Flexibility: You can choose the amount and frequency of the transfer, making it easy to tailor the strategy to your investment goals.
- Cost Averaging: Similar to SIP, STP can help you take advantage of market fluctuations by transferring money periodically.
- Investors with a lump sum amount in a low-risk fund (like a debt fund) who want to gradually move into higher-risk funds (like equity)
- Those looking to reduce market timing risk while gradually increasing their exposure to equities
- Risk-averse investors who want to step into the equity market without investing all at once
