Value investing has proven to be a successful strategy over the long term. While growth stocks have dominated the market, factors such as economic recovery, higher interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical risks could contribute to a sustained period of outperformance for value investing. By strategically investing in undervalued assets with strong upside potential, investors can navigate the complexities of the market, achieving superior returns over the long run.
