Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

CGICBCapital Group International Core Equity ETF

In short

AVDE Active management at almost-index prices: Avantis runs roughly 3,300 developed-market stocks outside the US without tracking a benchmark, for 0.23% a year. One of the strongest implementations in its active international peer group.

CGIC Capital Group's stock pickers go shopping outside the US, developed and emerging markets alike, chasing growth plus a paycheck. Real active management at 0.54%, which undercuts the typical active international fund.

Stated mandate

AVDE Invests in a broad range of stocks of all sizes across non-U.S. developed countries, with active portfolio management rather than replication of a specified index.

CGIC The fund seeks long-term capital growth together with current income by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of companies outside the United States, including emerging markets and developing countries.

Why people hold it

  • AVDE 0.23% a year, well under half the typical fee in its active international peer group. Active management usually costs more than this.
  • Index-like breadth without an index: about 3,300 stocks of all sizes across non-US developed countries, chosen by managers rather than copied from a benchmark.avantisinvestors.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting in and out tends to be cheap and easy. It pays out quarterly.
  • Sits at the top of a crowded field alongside rivals like DFIC and JIRE, priced within a basis point or two of both.
  • CGIC Priced under its peer group: 0.54% a year against a 0.60% median for active international equity funds. Active stock selection without the usual active markup.
  • A two-part mandate, not just growth. The fund seeks long-term capital growth together with current income from non-US equities, and distributions are paid quarterly.
  • Genuinely go-anywhere: developed and emerging markets both in the hunting ground, spread across roughly 170 stocks rather than a concentrated bet.
  • Sits in the top quartile of its 58-fund active international equity group on our review, and it trades actively, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.

Worth knowing

  • AVDE Developed markets only. Emerging markets are a separate purchase if you want them.
  • No index to grade the manager against, so results come down to Avantis's own portfolio calls rather than a published benchmark.
  • It is all-equity and all-foreign: stock market swings plus currency moves both show up in the price.
  • CGIC Systematic rivals cost a fraction: AVDE runs 0.23% and DFIC 0.22%. You are paying up for human judgment, so the stock picking has to earn that gap.
  • Young fund, launched June 2024. There is not much of a track record yet, which limits how much its risk history can tell you.
  • Emerging and developing markets sit inside the mandate alongside developed ones, which brings currency moves and single-country politics into the ride.
