ETF.net Research

AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

INEQBColumbia International Equity Income 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.

INEQ Columbia's active take on investing abroad for a paycheck and growth at the same time. It has been running since 2016 and charges less than the typical active international stock 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.

INEQ The Fund seeks total return through both current income and capital appreciation.

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.

INEQ Costs 0.45% a year, under the 0.60% median for active international equity ETFs. Below-average toll for an overseas stock picker.
The mandate is written down: total return from current income and capital appreciation. Income is half the job, not the whole job.
Distributes quarterly and has been on the tape since 2016, a real track record for an active international fund.
Rates in the upper tier of its active international peer group on our review, with no structural red flags in how it is built.

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.

INEQ Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider than on the category's giants, and bigger orders may take patience to fill.
A small fund by category standards, which matters for both trading friction and long-run staying power.
Broad international rivals such as AVDE, DFIC and JIRE charge roughly half the fee, so the active income tilt has to earn its keep.
