Our read on AVIG
AA core US bond fund with a different brief: its stated goal is maximizing total return, not just mirroring the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate. It costs 0.15% a year and spreads the risk across roughly 900 bonds.
Seeks to maximize total return.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.15% a year, well under half the median fee in its core bond cohort. Cost stops being the argument.
- Roughly 900 bonds, benchmarked to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate. The portfolio it actually runs lines up closely with the mandate in its own documents.res.avantisinvestors.com
- Among Agg-benchmarked funds, one of the stronger implementations in a crowded peer group, on both cost and portfolio construction.
- Launched in 2020 by Avantis as a broad US investment-grade bond holding, not a narrow slice of the market.avantisinvestors.com
Worth knowing
- Straight Agg index trackers (BND, AGG, SPAB) charge 0.03%. The extra basis points here buy a total-return mandate rather than a pure index copy.
- It's a core bond portfolio, so the price moves with interest rates. Rate sensitivity is the main risk you're carrying.
- Smaller and less heavily traded than the mega Agg trackers, so bid-ask spreads can run a touch wider.
