Stability During times of high degree of volatility in the stock market, investors can transfer their funds via an STP into relatively safer investment schemes such as debt funds and money market instruments. This allows an investor to ensure the safekeeping of his/her financial resources while earning stable returns at the same time. Rupee Cost Averaging This method is implemented while investing in Mutual Funds via STP, allowing investors to lower their average costs incurred on investments. Rupee Cost Averaging follows the technique of investing in funds when their average price is low and selling them when their market value increases, thereby realizing capital gains on the individual securities.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan SWP stands for systematic withdrawal plan. Under SWP, if you invest lump sum in a mutual fund, you can set an amount you ll withdraw regularly and the frequency at which you ll withdraw.

So every month, your investment in the fund will reduce by 10000. The amount left every month after withdrawal will continue to remain invested.
