Our read on AVSD

ETF.net Research

In short

BAvantis runs its value-and-profitability playbook across roughly 2,100 developed-market stocks outside the US, then layers ESG exclusions on top. Active tilts in an aisle mostly stocked with cap-weighted index screens.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of companies across non-U.S. developed countries. It emphasizes lower valuations and higher profitability while applying ESG exclusions.

Why people hold it

  • Actively managed but built wide: roughly 2,100 non-US developed stocks, tilted toward cheaper and more profitable companies rather than simply the biggest ones.avantisinvestors.com
  • 0.23% a year lands at the typical fee for its ESG international group and right beside Dimensional's DFSI (0.24%), its closest systematically active rival.
  • The mandate is written down, not improvised: lower valuations, higher profitability, ESG exclusions, the same contract since the 2022 launch. It pays quarterly.avantisinvestors.com

Worth knowing

  • Index-based peers undercut it on fee: VSGX at 0.10%, DMXF at 0.12%. The 0.23% here buys active tilts rather than a screened index.
  • One of the more thinly traded funds in its group, so spreads and limit orders matter more here than with the big index-tracking ESG names.
  • Factor tilts plus exclusions mean the portfolio can diverge from its MSCI World ex USA IMI benchmark, in either direction, over any given stretch.
