MF investment: In recent months, there has been a rise in equity markets, with some segments experiencing corrections. Despite this, valuations remain high for most indices. Given the trend of increasing benchmarks and market corrections, investors may find value in constructing a portfolio focused on strong value-based stock selection criteria. Value funds typically target companies in mature industries or with slow growth, which may not be attractive to growth investors at present. However, value investors anticipate these companies holding the potential to deliver robust returns over the long term.
