Our read on AVDE

ETF.net Research

In short

AActive management at almost-index prices: Avantis runs roughly 3,300 developed-market stocks outside the US without tracking a benchmark, for 0.23% a year. One of the strongest implementations in its active international peer group.

Stated mandate

Invests in a broad range of stocks of all sizes across non-U.S. developed countries, with active portfolio management rather than replication of a specified index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.23% a year, well under half the typical fee in its active international peer group. Active management usually costs more than this.
  • Index-like breadth without an index: about 3,300 stocks of all sizes across non-US developed countries, chosen by managers rather than copied from a benchmark.avantisinvestors.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting in and out tends to be cheap and easy. It pays out quarterly.
  • Sits at the top of a crowded field alongside rivals like DFIC and JIRE, priced within a basis point or two of both.

Worth knowing

  • Developed markets only. Emerging markets are a separate purchase if you want them.
  • No index to grade the manager against, so results come down to Avantis's own portfolio calls rather than a published benchmark.
  • It is all-equity and all-foreign: stock market swings plus currency moves both show up in the price.
