Top 3 Large-Cap Value Mutual Funds for Assured Income
Read MoreHide Full Article
Large-cap value mutual funds provide excellent choices for investors who seek returns with low risk. While mutual funds investing in value stocks have the potential to deliver higher returns and exhibit lower volatility than growth or blend counterparts, large cap funds are usually safer than small-cap or mid-cap funds. Thus investors may look for large-cap value funds to earn in a moderate return, volatile environment.
Value funds generally invest in stocks that tend to trade at a price lower than their fundamentals (i.e. earnings, book value, Debt-Equity) and pay out dividends. These stocks are expected to outperform growth stocks across all asset classes when considered on a long-term investment horizon and are less susceptible to trending markets. Meanwhile, large-cap funds have exposure to large-cap stocks that are expected to have a long-term performance history and assure more stability than what mid or small caps offer. Companies with market capitalization of more than $10 billion are generally considered large caps.
VALIC Company II Large Cap Value seeks higher total return than the Russell 1000 Value Index. VACVX invests a large share of its assets in equity securities of large-cap companies with market capitalization more than the smallest member of the Russell 1000 Index. VALIC Company II Large Cap Value has a three-year annualized return of 7.3%.
As of July 2016, VACVX held 113 issues, with 3.68% of its assets invested in Occidental Petroleum Corp.
PNC Large Cap Value I invests the majority of its assets in equity securities including common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of domestic large-cap companies. PLIVX is expected to maintain a diversified portfolio comprising undervalued securities. The fund may also invest in securities of companies located in foreign lands. PNC Large Cap Value I has a three-year annualized return of 7.7%.
PLIVX has an expense ratio of 0.93% compared with the category average of 1.16%.
MFS Value A (MEIAX - Free Report) seeks capital growth over the long run. MEIAX generally invests in equity securities including common stocks, securities of REITs and convertible securities.
