When is a SWP generally used?

Systematic withdrawal plans are used by investors to create a regular flow of income from their investments. Investors looking for income at periodical intervals for e.g. funding a travel plan during the childrens’ summer vacations, also set up their withdrawals in such a way that the cash is available when most required.
