AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

IMOMCAlpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum 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.

IMOM Not a watered-down momentum tilt. IMOM holds roughly 50 international stocks with the strongest momentum and skips everything else, a rules-based quant playbook Alpha Architect has run since 2015 for 0.38% a year.

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.

IMOM The fund seeks potential excess returns by maintaining consistent exposure to the strongest momentum stocks in international markets.

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.

IMOM Concentration is the point: about 50 international names picked purely on momentum, not a broad index with a momentum tilt bolted on top.
At 0.38% a year, it undercuts the typical active international fund in its group, where the median fee runs 0.60%.
Live since December 2015 on the same momentum rules, through several full international market cycles.
Stands in the upper half of its active international peer group, a solid showing for a strategy this specialized.

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.

IMOM Shares trade thinly, so on a single trade the bid-ask spread can cost more than a full year of the expense ratio.
Roughly 50 stocks means results can diverge widely from broad international indexes in either direction, and momentum can turn quickly.
Cheaper, broader peers exist in the group (AVDE at 0.23%, DFIC at 0.22%), but they own the market; IMOM buys one factor.
