Investors interested in deriving safer returns by allocating their assets in undervalued securities may consider mid-cap value mutual funds. While mid caps offer the best of both large- and small-cap mutual funds, allowing growth and stability simultaneously, value funds are known for income or yield. Value funds are those that tend to trade at prices lower than their fundamentals (i.e. earnings, book value, debt to equity). However, not all value funds solely comprise companies that primarily use their earnings to pay out dividends.
Meanwhile, companies with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion are generally considered mid-cap firms. While these funds are expected to have a higher growth potential than the large-cap ones, they are believed to experience a lower level of volatility than their small-cap counterparts.
