| **Good to knowValue InvestingValue investing is an investment strategy that involves buying stocks or assets that appear to be trading below their intrinsic value.

Investment objective
Axis Value Fund is a mutual fund scheme which aims to make money for investors through a contrarian strategy. For selecting value stocks, the fund has set parameters such as lower valuations, advancing of return on equity (RoE) during cycles, potential for earnings growth in the long run, execution capabilities and good governance.
However, it will also aim to avoid value traps by not investing in stocks which permanently remain cheap. The fund will also keep away from highly leveraged beaten down stocks and deep value stocks for short-term gains.
The portfolio will consist of 50-80% large-cap stocks and 50-20% mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Once the stocks have re-rated, there will be re-allocation.
This fund is suitable for investors who are looking for an alternate route to wealth creation.
