The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has suffered heavy losses over the past month. 

Since August 6th, Australia's benchmark index has fallen more than 6%. 

Despite the pain for many investors' portfolios, there are several strong value options.

GQG Partners

GQG Partners is a global boutique asset management company focused on active equity portfolios. It offers investment advisory and portfolio management services for investors across three continents.

In the last 12 months, its share price has fallen 38%. 

At the time of writing, it is trading at a 52-week low of $1.05. 

However, it now sits well below where many experts believe is fair value. 

Late last month, Morgans placed an accumulate rating and price target of $1.52. 

The near-term operating environment remains difficult for GQG; however, we think it's hard not to see long-term value in the franchise at current levels, trading on ~7x FY1 PE.

This indicates an upside potential of almost 45%. 

While this capital gain upside is already enticing, this ASX stock also offers a strong dividend yield. 

At the time of writing, it offers a yield of over 10%, providing investors with passive income and potential capital gains. 

IVE Group

IVE provides communication solutions. Its services include creative services, personalised communications, print production, retail display, promotional merchandising, third-party sourcing, logistics and fulfilment, and managed solutions.

In the last 12 months, its share price has fallen 13%, and now sits at a 52-week low of $2.34. 

However, analysts' forecasts via TradingView have an average one year target of $3.20. 

This indicates an upside potential of 36%. 

-It also recently posted some healthy full-year results, suggesting the underlying businesses remain sound. 

It also offers a dividend yield of over 7%. 

Generation Development Group

Generation Development Group is a diversified financial services company focused on investment and retirement products.

Its share price has fallen more than 57% in the last 12 months and is now hovering near a 52-week low of $2.92. 

The current price sits well below broker targets. 

TradingView analyst data has an average 12-month price target of $5.39 on this ASX stock. 

This indicates 84% upside from current levels.
