It’s not easy finding the right mutual fund. Is it more important to have value plays or growth? How about both?
While technically a value fund, Cramer thinks the Dreyfus Premier Strategic Value Fund, run by fund manager Brian Ferguson, has the growth to make it the best of both worlds.
Ferguson told Cramer on Friday’s Mad Money that he focuses on stocks with attractive valuation as well as a proven track record of momentum. That winning combination is what led the fund to a 43% gain the year Ferguson took the helm.
Once underweight financials, Ferguson now agrees with Cramer that this could be the “single greatest moment” to own them since the 1990s since the Fed is aggressively cutting rates. The Fed has given bank stocks the light at the end of the tunnel they so desperately needed, Ferguson said, which is why his Dreyfus fund is strategically loading back up on financial stocks.
If it’s a combination of value and growth you want in a mutual fund, Cramer recommended taking a look at the DAGVX. Or check out other mutual funds Cramer profiles in his newest book, Stay Mad For Life.
