Mutual Fund STP - Profit Transfer

Mutual Fund Investors are aware about Systematic Transfer Plan or STP as it is known popularly. In a STP, generally you can transfer a fixed amount at a fixed frequency from one scheme to another over a period of time. But through STP, you can also transfer only the profits made on your investments in a mutual fund scheme to another scheme in the same AMC. For example you have invested in an equity fund and given a mandate to the AMC to transfer the profits, if any, after a period of time at certain intervals. The AMC will check if you have profits in your equity fund and transfer only the profit amount to another scheme which you have chosen while giving the above mandate. The tool Mutual Fund STP Profit Transfer helps you understand this better. To back test the real results, you can select an equity/ hybrid or any aggressive scheme of your choice, input the lump sum investment amount, select the to/ from dates, frequency in which you want to do the STP and a scheme (preferably a debt fund) from the same AMC. You will get the results along with detailed cash flow, returns in XIRR Percentage and the amount of profits which are transferred to the other scheme. This method of STP is ideal for investors who do not want to take much risk and looking for better returns over fixed income in the long run.
