A Systematic Investment Plan or SIP is a smart and hassle free mode for investing money in mutual funds. SIP allows you to invest a certain pre-determined amount at a regular interval (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.). A SIP is a planned approach towards investments and helps you inculcate the habit of saving and building wealth for the future.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is the facility by which an investor can withdraw a pre-determined amount from his existing investments in mutual funds at a pre-decided interval (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually). Functionally, Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is similar to Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) but it gives an option to withdraw systematically. This helps in generating a regular cash flow for the investors. SWP in mutual fund is one of the most effective and tax efficient way to earn potential returns.

Bonds are loans made to large organizations. These include corporations, cities and national governments. A bond is a piece of a massive loan. That's because the size of these entities requires them to borrow money from more than one source.
