Large-cap value mutual funds generally provide favorable 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 moderate returns in a 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 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.
