Switches - Can give you better returns.. Know - How!!



Making use of available options to maximize wealth creation is definitely a wise thing to do. A lot of Indian Mutual Funds offer facilities called Systematic Transfer Plan (STP), which basically removes the hassle of the Investor reaching out the Fund-House / Registrars like CAMS to submit transaction requests.

This facility offers the convenience where the Investor can opt to Switch a fixed amount at regular intervals to designated open ended schemes. This basically requires a One Time Instruction to CAMS and then you simply sit and relax. We will take care of setting this up and ensure your transaction is processed automatically on the designated dates.

This facility is useful for investors who wish to use their funds very optimally. For example, an investor may keep Funds in a liquid scheme and opt to switch to an Equity Oriented Scheme every month on a predefined date. This also enables the Rupee Cost Averaging, similar to what a Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) could offer.

Normally, financial experts and planners suggest that the bulk income, year end bonus etc could be parked in Liquid / Cash Funds and set up an STP to periodically switch into Equity Funds, to gain maximum advantage. While your Bulk investment in Liquid / Cash Fund generate better returns, the Rupee Cost Averaging in the Equity Funds, could give you enhanced returns, depending on market conditions.

CAMS has wonderful capabilities to handle such instructions from Investors could simply fill and submit the STP registration form to any one of the CAMS CSCs to enroll for the powerful facility.

What are you hesitant about? Go ahead and start setting your goals and STP account too..
