Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

TOUSBT. Rowe Price International 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.

TOUS T. Rowe Price's stock-picking bench in ETF wrapper: an actively run international portfolio of roughly 190 names, launched in 2023 and priced below 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.

TOUS The fund seeks long-term capital growth through an international equity strategy.

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.
  • TOUS Charges 0.50% a year, under the median for actively managed international equity ETFs. Active research without the old-school active price tag.
  • Roughly 190 stocks: wide enough to spread country and sector risk, concentrated enough that the managers' picks actually show up in results.
  • Grew into a multi-billion-dollar fund within a couple of years of its 2023 launch, and trading costs rank among the friendlier ones in its peer group.
  • Sits in the upper tier of its active international equity peer group on our review of nearly 60 funds.

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.
  • TOUS Systematic rivals go cheaper: DFIC, AVDE and JIRE all run international exposure near a quarter of a percent. Human stock picking is the premium here.
  • Live since 2023, so the track record in the ETF is short next to T. Rowe's longer-running strategies.
  • Pays out once or twice a year rather than monthly, so income lands in lumps.
