3 Top-Ranked All-Cap Value Mutual Funds to Invest In

Read MoreHide Full Article

Value mutual funds provide excellent choices for investors looking for bargains, i.e., stocks at a discount. Value mutual funds are those that invest in stocks trading at discounts to book value, and have low price-to-earnings ratio and high dividend yields. Value investing is always a popular strategy, and for a good reason. After all, who doesn’t want to find stocks that have low PEs, solid outlooks and decent dividends?

However, not all value funds solely comprise companies that primarily use their earnings to pay dividends. Investors interested in choosing value funds for yield, should be sure to check the mutual fund yield. The mutual fund yield is the dividend payment divided by the value of the mutual fund’s shares.
