PNB MetLife launches value fund: Build long-term wealth through value investing
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).
Who Should Invest?
Value Fund can be considered by investors who:
Understand the concept of value investing and believe in it
Have patience to wait till the company unlocks its true worth and its stock price to realize its true value
Are comfortable taking risks for potential high returns in the future
The new fund is available with PNB MetLife Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs), offering a seamless experience across both the PNB MetLife official website (www.pnbmetlife.com) and offline distribution channels.
PNB MetLife Value Fund (SFIN: ULIF03615/07/25VALUEFUNDS117) is an actively managed fund. The fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation by actively investing in companies which are attractively valued. The companies that the fund seeks to invest in would typically have lower earnings or book value multiple relative to either broader markets, their comparable peers, or their own history. The relative valuation-based strategies are best suited for individuals with very high risk tolerance and long-term investment goals
