AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

ESIMCEventide International 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.

ESIM Eventide takes its faith-based screen overseas. ESIM filters non-US large and mid caps through its Business 360 process, then optimizes what survives to line up with its Bloomberg benchmark on beta, style and sector.

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.

ESIM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in non-U.S. companies selected through Eventide’s values-based screening process. It is actively managed with a long-only approach and seeks to limit tracking error to its Strategy Benchmark.

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.

ESIM Values screen first, then math. Business 360 narrows the non-US universe; optimization then aligns the portfolio's beta, style and sector with its Bloomberg World ex US benchmark.eventideinvestments.com
At 0.59%, it sits right at the median cost for actively managed international funds in its peer group.
Eventide's first dedicated ex-US fund, so one faith-based framework now runs across US and international shelves. Distributions are paid quarterly.eventideinvestments.com

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.

ESIM Trading opened in December 2025, so the record is short. The screen also means holdings can look different from the benchmark, in either direction.eventideinvestments.com
Broad international core rivals cost a lot less: AVDE at 0.23% and DFIC at 0.22%. The extra fee buys the screen and the active work.
A young, small fund can trade thinly, so bid/ask spreads matter more here than with the category's giants. Limit orders are the usual fix.
