The scheme follows a value investment style by investing in diversified portfolio of stocks that have attractive valuations but are quoting at a discount to their intrinsic value.
A lump sum investment of Rs. 10 lakhs at the time of inception (August 16, 2004), as of July 31, 2022, would be worth Rs. 2.5 crore i.e. a CAGR of 19.7%. A similar investment in Nifty 50 would have yielded a CAGR of 15.6% at Rs. 1.3 crore. With value investing being suited for long-term investing, SIP emerges as a good investment pathway. In terms of SIP performance, a monthly investment of Rs 10,000 via SIP since the inception, which would amount to a total investment of Rs 21.6 lakhs, would have grown to Rs 1.2cr as of July 31, 2022 i.e. a CAGR of 17.3%.

Speaking on the occasion of 18 years’completion, Nimesh Shah, MD & CEO of ICICI Prudential AMC says, “One of the good things we have noticed over the years is that value investing has been gaining traction among Indian investors. Investors are increasingly becoming aware of what constitutes value and why it is important and needs to be followed diligently. Overseas, value investing is an established and well-explored concept. With Indians having a natural disposition to see value in everything one purchases, we believe value investing will become more and more entrenched in our lives sooner than later.”
“Value as a strategy may not work in all phases of a market cycle. What investors need to remember is that value investing will deliver over the long term for a patient investor. Global experienceand the journey of ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund has taught us first hand that the approachtends to deliver sizeable returns in the long run. Furthermore, value investing at a time when market is elevated tends to do well as value focuses on investing in sectors which are out of favour but offer long term potential,”says S Naren, ED & CIO, ICICI Prudential AMC.
He further adds,“Up until September 2020, value was out of favour but as markets became expensive value was back in focus and has since then delivered encouraging returns.The gurus globally, like Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, Joel Greenblatt, amongst others, have been advocating value investing as the best way to build wealth.”
