Investment Objective and Approach

The scheme seeks to generate consistent long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related securities by following value investing strategy i.e buying into stocks that are trading for less than their intrinsic value - stocks that the market is undervaluing. This fund follows a value/contrarian style of investing, which endeavours to find stocks that are priced significantly lower than what the fund management team believes is their true worth.

The fund's investment approach centers on identifying fundamentally strong companies that are temporarily undervalued by the market. Value Fund aims for long-term capital growth by investing in undervalued stocks through a disciplined strategy. This contrarian investment philosophy requires patience as value stocks may take time to realize their true potential.
