What is a systematic transfer plan in mutual funds?

A systematic transfer plan (STP) is a way to invest in mutual funds wherein an investor sets up a plan to periodically transfer money from one fund to another. The money is transferred at predefined intervals (weekly, monthly, etc.) and helps the investor take advantage of market movements.

Who uses the STP facility typically?

STPs are often used by investors who want to invest in equity mutual funds but are worried about volatility in the stock markets. By starting an STP, the investor can transfer small amounts

of money into an equity mutual fund every week or month. This averaging out of investment costs is called rupee cost averaging, and it helps to reduce the risk of investing in equity mutual funds.
