What is HDFC Dream SIP?

The HDFC Dream SIP integrates both HDFC Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) and Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWAP) into a single program. The primary goal of this initiative is to enable investors to achieve their financial objectives. With this scheme, you have the opportunity to systematically accumulate wealth through SIPs in the initial phase, followed by a steady stream of returns through SWAP. SWAP will start only after SIP tenure is completed. You have the flexibility to choose your desired SIP and SWAP schemes (both can be the same or different), define SIP durations, and select preferred SWAP amounts. Currently, HDFC Dream SIP is available only through offline mode.

How does HDFC Dream SIP Calculation Work?

HDFC Dream SIP encourages you to invest a fixed amount regularly through SIP and allows you to withdraw through SWAP periodically after the SIP period.

HDFC Dream SIP has the following two options:

SIP and SWAP are registered in the same Scheme
SIP and SWAP are registered in different Schemes

You must select the SIP scheme, also called the Source Scheme, for a pre-defined tenure. The Dream SIP tenure is 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. The default tenure is 20 years.

Once the SIP tenure is completed, the investments will be switched to the ‘Target Scheme’.

You can specify any SWAP amount. If you do not mention the SWAP amount while registering, SWAP shall be activated for an amount as per the following:

SIP Tenure in years	Monthly SWAP Amount
7	1x of monthly SIP amount
10	1.5x of monthly SIP amount
12	2x of monthly SIP amount
15	3x of monthly SIP amount
20	5x of monthly SIP amount
25	8x of monthly SIP amount
