Value investors look for companies they can buy for less than their estimate of present value. That estimate often uses financial-statement criteria such as book value, sales, cash flows or earnings. Value investors may look further for hidden value such as management ownership of a company’s stock, patents or special market niches for a company’s products. They may even look at what a company is worth in a possible takeover. A value fund manager will tend to have a portfolio of companies that trade at below-average price/earnings and price/book value ratios. What’s more, many companies in value portfolios pay higher-than-average dividends. (See also Momentum Investing and Sector Rotation Investing.)
