Investopedia explains 'Investing Style'

Value stocks are perceived to be less risky than growth stocks, which makes the blend investing style a compromise of the two. Investment style, along with company size, is the basic determinant of a fund portfolio's asset allocation and risk-return parameters.

Fund investors should look for a high degree of consistency in a fund's investment style. Frequent changes could be an indication of the fund's investment manager chasing performance, which surely involves increasing risk.
