Invest in These 3 Mid-Cap Value Funds for Impressive Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
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 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.
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Value (FDVLX - Free Report) aims for capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in common stocks, both domestic and foreign issuers that possess valuable fixed assets or that Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as assets, earnings, or growth potential. FDVLX has a three-year annualized return of 13.4%.
Matthew Friedman is the portfolio manager of FDVLX since 2010.
Fidelity Mid Cap Value Fund (FSMVX - Free Report) invests a large chunk of its assets in securities of those mid-cap companies that have market capitalizations similar to those included on the S&P MidCap 400 Index or the Russell Midcap Index. The fund seeks capital growth for the long run. FSMVX invests in both U.S. and non-U.S. companies. FSMVX has returned 8.8% over the last three-year period.
As of September 2021, FSMVX held 100 issues, with 3.95% of its assets invested in CBRE Group Inc Class A.
Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund (FLPSX - Free Report) aims for capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in common stocks and invests at least 80% of its assets in low-priced stocks, leading to investments in small and medium-sized companies. FLPSX has a three-year annualized return of 11.8%.
FLPSX has an expense ratio of 0.78% as compared with the category average of 1.01%.
