7 Top-performing Value Mutual Funds with High Returns Based on 10-Year SIP

Value Mutual Fund is a sub-category of equity mutual funds that offers investors the opportunity to benefit from the growth potential of undervalued stocks. Value Mutual Funds look to discover stocks that are trading below their intrinsic/fair value but have strong fundamentals and hold them until their full value/potential is realised. Investors can consider the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) mode while investing in Value Mutual Funds to mitigate the impact of market volatility and benefit from the power compounding of wealth.

The Value Mutual Fund category comprises 11 schemes that have a track record of at least 10 years. In the last 10 years, all schemes in the category generated double-digit growth; of these, nine Value Mutual Funds generated SIP returns of 15% or more. The top-performing SIP generated XIRR of 19.1% during this period.

Notably, Value Funds have staged a comeback after a deep lull between 2018 and early 2020. The category has clocked superior performance in the last three years and has outpaced the category average returns of Large Cap Fund, Large & Midcap Fund, and Flexi Cap Fund.

What are Value Mutual Funds?

As per SEBI norms, Value Funds are equity-oriented mutual funds that follow the value-investment strategy, investing a minimum of 65% of their total assets in equity and equity-related instruments. These funds have the flexibility to invest across market capitalisation and sectors.

Since Value Mutual Funds predominantly invest in undervalued stocks, they can potentially offer a better margin of safety compared to growth-oriented funds. Hence, Value Funds can act as an effective portfolio diversifier.

Value Funds tend to underperform during momentum-based market rallies that generally favour growth stocks. But when the market realises the true potential of value stocks, the prices of these stocks soar, and investors are rewarded with attractive gains.

What is an SIP?

The SIP mode allows mutual fund investors to invest a certain fixed sum regularly over the long term in the scheme/s of their choice. This helps develop a financial discipline – the key to successful investing. It also enables averaging of investment costs as more units are added when the equity markets are trading low and fewer units when the markets are scaling up. This feature enhances the power of compounding, allowing the investors’ wealth to grow leaps and bounds over the long term. The tool used to calculate SIP returns is known as XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return).

Who should invest in Value Mutual Funds?

Since Value Funds invest in undervalued/out of favour stocks, the fund managers’ bets may take time to payoff. Therefore, Value Funds may underperform in the short to medium term. However, over the long term, Value Funds can generate returns in line with growth-oriented funds or even outperform them.

Value funds can form a part of the ‘Core’ portfolio of investors who can handle an extended period of underperformance and if the investment horizon is at least 7 years.
