What is a Value Fund?

Value funds are a type of mutual fund in which the fund manager or investor looks to invest in the stocks of undervalued companies. For many companies, their stock price is not indicative of their actual growth. Intrinsic value of a company can be calculated considering its financial status, business model, management team, marker factors and competition. When the intrinsic value of a company is greater than its market value, it is considered to have ‘value.’

The rationality behind value funds is that the market value of some companies reflects at levels lower than its actual worth due to market conditions. Once the market corrects, these stock prices will rise and the investor have the opportunity to potentially gain from it. These companies can be identified by skilled value fund managers to create potential returns.

Value funds can help diversify your portfolio and are less vulnerable to market fluctuations as they are undervalued. Value mutual funds can potentially give exponential returns.

While investing in a value mutual fund it is necessary to consider some factors:

  • Period of Investment: Value investing is suitable for long-term investors. The stock may take a couple of years to perform again; it is necessary to consider long-term goals.

  • Past Performance: It is necessary to look at the past performance of a fund. Looking at the past performance of the fund manager and the fund will help you understand whether the scheme is suitable for you.

  • Interest Rate Risk: Value funds may be subject to interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect the value of stocks.
