AOMAiShares Core 40/60 Moderate Allocation ETF

AVMABAvantis Moderate Allocation ETF

In short

AOM Wall Street's balanced portfolio in one ticker, tilted toward bonds: 40% stocks, 60% fixed income, held through a handful of iShares funds and tracking an S&P target-risk index since 2008.

AVMA A 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

AOM The Fund seeks to track an index composed of underlying equity and fixed income funds intended to represent a moderate target-risk allocation strategy.

AVMA 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

AOM Fee is 0.15%, net of a waiver through November 30, 2026, and below the typical cost in its small category. Gross runs 0.20% if that waiver lapses.
Undercuts moderate-allocation rivals AVMA (0.21%) and CGBL (0.33%), neither of which leans on a waiver.
One ticker buys a global stock-and-bond mix and holds it at target. The index handles the rebalancing, so you are not trimming sleeves by hand.
Trading since 2008 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that has hugged its index closely. One of the stronger builds in a thin peer group.

AVMA 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

AOM Bonds are the bigger half, so stock swings land with less force here than in equity-heavier sibling AOR (also 0.15% net of a waiver through November 30, 2026).
Moderately traded rather than heavily traded, which can mean wider spreads around the open and close.
You own funds that own funds: the line items are iShares ETFs, not individual stocks and bonds.

AVMA 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.
