New Delhi. If you are also looking for a fund which is giving strong returns over a long period of time, then ICICI Prudential’s Value Fund can be a better option. This fund has consistently performed well since its inception. Those who invested in it in lump sum or in SIP form have got tremendous returns. Lumpsum investment has given returns of about 20 percent every year. In this way, in 21 years the investment of Rs 10 lakh has increased to about Rs 5 crore.
ICICI Prudential’s Value Fund has become one of the most popular funds. This is a true value fund, which has been consistently successful in identifying corporate stocks. The fund’s focus is on identifying strong companies that have a sustainable business model, improving fundamentals and a credible management team. Such a strategy has so far kept the fund out of the price trap.
How much return given every year
If someone had invested Rs 10 lakh in this fund in the beginning i.e. on 16 August 2004, then by 31 October 2025 this amount would have become approximately Rs 4.85 crore. In this way the monthly return was 20.1%, which is a very good CAGR. If the same amount was invested in Nifty 50 TRI during the same period, it would have become approximately Rs 2.1 crore. This fund has given good returns continuously in the last 21 years.
Strong performance of SIP also
The SIP returns of this fund have also been quite impressive. From the beginning till now, a total investment of Rs 25.5 lakh would have been made through SIP of Rs 10,000 every month, which would have increased to Rs 2.4 crore by 31 October 2025. At the same time, the value of similar SIP investment in the benchmark would have been only Rs 1.2 crore. Specifically, if we talk about the last one year and three year performance, the fund has outperformed its benchmark by 2% and 4.8% respectively. For this reason, this fund remains among the top performers in the value category in most time periods.
Where does this fund invest money
The fund has complete freedom to explore opportunities across different categories of the market (large, mid and small cap) and does not follow benchmarks in sector allocation. At present, it has invested more in software, pharma-healthcare and banking sectors and has placed less bets on cement, internet, retail and metals. As of October 31, 2021, 87% of the fund’s portfolio was in large caps and the rest was spread across mid and small cap stocks.
