Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AVDEAAvantis International Equity ETF

VIDICVident International Equity Strategy 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.

VIDI Most international funds let market cap decide how much of each country you own. VIDI flips the order: its index ranks countries first on governance and fiscal health (government debt, spending, savings), then picks the stocks inside them.

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.

VIDI The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Vident international equity index before fees and expenses.

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.
  • VIDI Country-first design: the index leans toward countries scoring well on governance markers such as lower government debt, lower government spending and higher savings rates.videntam.com
  • Developed and emerging markets in one ticket, with stocks inside each country screened on quality, valuation and price trend.sec.gov
  • Running since 2013, so these country-ranking rules have been tested through real market cycles rather than a backtest.
  • Spread broadly across countries, regions and individual stocks instead of leaning on a handful of mega-caps. Pays quarterly.videntam.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.
  • VIDI At 0.61%, it costs more than systematic international rivals like DFIC (0.22%), AVDE (0.23%) and JIRE (0.24%), though it sits near the middle of the actively run pack.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  • A country-ranked portfolio can look very different from a cap-weighted international index, and that gap cuts both ways.videntam.com
