Our read on AVMA
BOne ticker, a global stock-and-bond mix, and a twist: instead of tracking a plain index blend, AVMA tilts the portfolio toward securities its manager flags as having higher expected returns. Roughly 1,400 holdings, 0.23% a year.
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
- 0.23% a year undercuts the typical moderate-allocation fund and lands within a few basis points of the plain index blends AOM and AOR at 0.20%.
- Not a vanilla blend. The stated mandate is broad market exposure with a deliberate emphasis on securities with higher expected returns, the Avantis house style.res.avantisinvestors.com
- Roughly 1,400 holdings spanning global and US markets, so a single buy covers the whole allocation instead of five separate building blocks.
- The portfolio build is the strong suit here: one of the better-constructed lineups in the moderate-allocation group.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the big index blends, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
- Launched in 2023, so the public record is short and covers only one stretch of market weather.
- The tilt cuts both ways: results can diverge from a plain index blend holding the same stock-and-bond mix. Cash arrives quarterly.
