Our read on AVMC
AThe forgotten middle of the US market, run the Avantis way: roughly 600 mid-cap names tilted toward cheaper stocks with stronger profits, at 0.18% a year. Systematic active management priced like an index fund.
Seeks long-term capital appreciation through a broad portfolio of U.S. mid-cap companies, emphasizing securities with lower valuations and higher profitability ratios.
Why people hold it
- 0.18% a year, against a 0.65% median for active US equity funds. Index-fund pricing on an active mandate.
- Spreads the value-and-profitability tilt across roughly 600 mid-caps, so it leans on the screen rather than a handful of concentrated picks.res.avantisinvestors.com
- One of the strongest implementations in our active US equity group, sitting with large-cap sibling AVLC and the Dimensional core funds.
- Pure mid-cap exposure with a quarterly distribution, filling the gap most portfolios leave between mega-caps and small caps.
Worth knowing
- Trades lighter than the giant index ETFs, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you transact.
- Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. There's no published index behind it either: outcomes come from Avantis' own valuation and profitability rules.
- All mid-cap, no mega-cap ballast, plus a tilt away from expensive names. Both can put it out of step with a market led by the largest growth stocks.
