Our read on AVMA

ETF.net Research

In short

BA one-ticket 65/35 balanced fund built entirely from Avantis' own ETFs, so the stock side leans toward cheaper, more profitable companies instead of simply tracking the market. All-in cost: 0.21%.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through a strategic allocation providing broad market exposure while emphasizing securities with higher expected returns.

Why people hold it

  • Not a plain index blend: the equity sleeves emphasize securities with higher expected returns, which in Avantis language means tilting to value and profitability.sec.gov
  • 0.21% covers both the wrapper and the underlying Avantis funds it holds, and sits near the typical moderate-allocation fee with no waiver propping it up.sec.gov
  • Roughly 1,500 underlying positions across US stocks, foreign stocks and bonds from one ticker, with a 65/35 neutral mix managers rebalance back toward preset ranges. Pays quarterly.avantisinvestors.com

Worth knowing

  • AOR and AOM do the balanced-fund job for 0.15%, net of a waiver through November 30, 2026. The extra here buys the factor tilts, not a cheaper wrapper.
  • Every holding is an Avantis fund, so this is one shop's read on value and profitability, and those tilts can trail a plain cap-weighted blend for long stretches.sec.gov
  • A smaller, thinly traded fund that launched in 2023, so on any given trade the spread can cost more than the fee does.
