However, there can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Scheme will be realized. The Scheme does not guarantee/indicate any returns.

As per the Scheme Information Document, Baroda BNP Paribas Value Fund aims to provide long term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of companies that are selected using attributes of value investing.
In the medium to long term, the stock prices follow their intrinsic value. The fund would follow the philosophy of identifying mispriced opportunities between the intrinsic value and the prevailing market price of the company. To identify these opportunities the fund would look for stocks which trade at valuations lower than the overall market, their own historical average valuations or relative to their fundamental valuations. Furthermore, the fund will use top down and bottom-up approach to pick stocks across sectors based on the quality of business model and quality of management.
