The core of value investing lies in ‘buying when cheap, selling when expensive’. Value investors pick stocks trading at lower than their intrinsic value, and buy them with the expectation to sell them and earn profits in the long-term.
The intrinsic value of a stock (often called the real value) is essentially the anticipated value that takes long-term growth and not just current market value into consideration. Its calculation is based on fundamental analysis.
Value stocks are individual equities that are undervalued in the market with regard to intrinsic value, while Value Funds are mutual funds that diversify and invest in a portfolio of value stocks.
Before investing in Value Funds, you must consider the fund’s expense ratio and historical performance, the fund manager’s track record and investment strategy, and your own risk tolerance.
No, Value Funds are not risk-free. They carry stock specific risks as well as market risks (owing to the market being unpredictable at all times).
There is no lock-in period for Value Funds, you can redeem them as per your choice. However, try to align this decision with your long-term financial goals, market conditions, and other factors such as the exit load of the fund.
