Investors' Profile The ideal investor for this fund should have the following characteristics:
(i)   Willing to accept risks for returns presented by the equity and bond market;
(ii)  Want to capitalise on the value investment approach when investing in equity markets; and
(iii) Possessing a long-term investment horizon in excess of 5 years.
 
Benefits for Investors Provides investors with an alternative approach when investing in equity markets. Value Investments do not necessarily behave in a similar fashion when compared to growth oriented investments.

This is generally due to the fact that value funds are normally associated with neglected or “out-of-favour stocks” while growth funds are focused on stocks with the above average growth.
 
Specific Benefits of Investing in AMBVTF Free Insurance Protection Coverage for AMBVTF
Eligible Unit Holders (natural persons) of AMBVTF will be given free Group Personal Accident (GPA) insurance coverage. Unit Holders holding a minimum of 2,000 Units and above will automatically be covered under the GPA insurance coverage. The sum covered would be RM0.50 for every Unit held subject to a minimum investment of 2,000 Units and maximum coverage of RM200,000.

(ii)  Total Permanent Disability (TPD) due to accidental causes; and
(iii) Funeral expenses as follows:

                     Units               Funeral Expenses
             2,000 to 49,999             RM1,000
           50,000 and above           RM2,000

While the policy is in force, the amount of coverage shall be based on the amount of Units held at the time of accident which led to claim.
