New Delhi [India], July 21: Value investing is a time-tested investment approach that focuses on identifying fundamentally strong companies available at attractive prices. By buying into quality businesses that are temporarily undervalued due to factors like market neglect or cyclical downturns, investors aim to benefit as the market eventually corrects the mispricing.

With the launch of the new PNB MetLife Value Fund at an NAV of ₹10, investors now have an opportunity to participate in this proven strategy through a research-backed, actively managed fund designed to deliver long-term capital growth. 

PNB MetLife Value Fund is now open for investment and the final allocation date is July 28, 2025.

Benefits of the PNB MetLife Value Fund

1. Long-Term Wealth Creation: The fund’s core strategy is to invest in undervalued companies with solid fundamentals. Over time, as the market corrects its mispricing, investors stand to gain from both price appreciation and earnings growth.
2. Active Fund Management: Unlike passive funds, this actively managed fund, guided by expert research and market insights, aims for higher long-term returns. This strategy is driven by a fund management team with a proven track record, reflected in 99% of PNB MetLife’s equity funds AUM receiving 4 or 5-star Morningstar ratings. 
3. Outperformance Potential: The Nifty 500 Value 50 Index has significantly outperformed the Nifty 50, delivering a 5-year CAGR of 39.51% versus 20.29% as of May 31, 2025, demonstrating the potential of a value-driven approach.
4. Sectoral Opportunities: The fund benefits from exposure to currently undervalued sectors like Energy, Financials, Commodities, and Power, many of which are trading below their historical P/E ratios and offer attractive entry points.
5. Ideal for the Current Environment: With interest rates softening and the earnings outlook improving, the timing is ideal to enter a value-focused strategy that can effectively capitalize on market inefficiencies.
6. Added Protection and Tax Efficiency: When availed through PNB MetLife ULIP Plans, the fund offers life cover of up to 10 times the annualized premium, along with tax-free maturity benefits (applicable if annual premiums do not exceed Rs 2.5 lakhs, as per current tax laws).
