Our read on AVDV
AForeign small-cap value is the thin, overlooked corner of the world market. AVDV works it with index-like breadth, roughly 1,700 overseas small caps screened for cheap prices and real profits, at a fee well under its peer group's median.
Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in non-U.S. developed small-cap companies selected for low valuations and higher profitability ratios.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.36% a year, well under the median for active international value funds and below peers like JIVE (0.55%) and FEOE (0.50%).
- Holds roughly 1,700 non-US developed small caps and stacks a profitability screen on top of the value screen, aimed at the cheap-for-a-reason names.res.avantisinvestors.com
- Live since 2019 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands readily, which matters when the underlying holdings are small foreign stocks.
- One of the stronger builds in its active international value group: broad, cheap, and rules-driven rather than a manager's hunch list.avantisinvestors.com
Worth knowing
- Small caps abroad plus a value tilt can swing harder than big-name international funds, and currency moves flow straight through to results.avantisinvestors.com
- Actively managed with no index to replicate, so holdings follow Avantis' models. MSCI World ex-USA Small Cap is the yardstick, not the blueprint.avantisinvestors.com
- Developed markets only, and it pays quarterly rather than monthly. For overseas large-cap value, sibling fund AVIV runs 0.25%.
