WHAT IS
MARS SWP PORTFOLIO?
MARS SWP portfolio is specially designed to invest money in a mix of good performing
Aggressive Hybrid funds along with a Debt fund. The Hybrid Fund ensures you get a better
return with lower risk, while all your withdrawals happen from the Debt fund on a monthly
basis thereby not impacting your Hybrid Fund Units. The portfolio gets rebalanced annually,
wherein non performing schemes are replaced with good performing ones, thus ensuring you
always stay invested in better performing schemes. Also, the Debt fund gets replenished
annually, so that your monthly withdrawals continue unabated.
As can be seen from the table above, the average returns to the investors on rolling 5 years
and 10 years basis have been above 11% (including withdrawals). Not only have the investors
enjoyed regular monthly income, their capital has also appreciated reasonably. On the
minimum side, over a 5 year period, there have been 7 instances, where the capital has
dipped below the investment threshold, however with increase in tenure to 10 years, that
number too has dwindled to 1. Simply put the probability of loss of capital goes down from
17% to less than 5% with the longer term duration.
If we compare the performance of this portfolio with a portfolio having only balanced funds
and monthly withdrawal from Balanced Funds. The difference in average returns is almost
negligible at 0.1%, however in the downside, the portfolio value is lower by 7% and 10% on a
5 and 10 year basis than the portfolio having debt allocation. So, the backtesting data proves
that the 10% Debt allocation model adopted by MARS SWP portfolio saves the downside risk
significantly while not compromising on the returns on the upside.
