ETF.net Research

AVDSAAvantis International Small Cap Equity ETF

COROBiShares International Country Rotation Active ETF

In short

AVDS Avantis casts a wide net: roughly 3,000 non-US developed small caps, weighted with an eye on price, profitability and how much cash companies plow back in. Active management that looks a lot like an index fund with its thumb on the scale.

CORO Most active international funds pick stocks. CORO picks countries: BlackRock's model team rotates a basket of iShares single-country funds, for 0.55% net of a waiver through June 30, 2027.

Stated mandate

AVDS The ETF seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a broad group of non-U.S. small-cap companies and considering valuation, profitability, and investment levels when selecting and weighting securities.

CORO The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • AVDS Charges 0.30% a year, about half the typical fee in its active international peer group. Cheap is a durable edge in a corner of the market where fees usually run high.
  • Roughly 3,000 holdings, so no single stock or country steers the outcome. This is small-cap breadth, not a concentrated stock-picking bet.
  • The tilts are the whole design: valuation, profitability and investment levels shape both what it owns and how much of each, measured against MSCI World ex USA Small Cap.avantisinvestors.com
  • Sits among the strongest builds in a crowded field of active international equity funds. Broad, systematic, low-fee: the boxes that tend to stay ticked.
  • CORO Country calls instead of stock calls. Four long/short rotations (emerging, developed, all-country, regional), each with its own signal suite, drive the tilts across iShares country funds.ishares.com
  • Run by BlackRock's Model Portfolio Solutions team and designed from day one as a model building block, so the asset-allocation machinery behind it is the institutional kind.businesswire.comishares.com
  • Launched in December 2024 and already a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, which is uncommon shelf presence for a strategy this young.
  • What's under the hood is plain: roughly two dozen index country funds, developed and emerging, with cash paid out quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • AVDS Thinly traded compared with the big international names. Limit orders and a look at the spread earn their keep here.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short even though the approach behind it is not new.
  • Costs more than Avantis' broad international fund AVDE (0.23%). Small caps abroad are pricier to research and trade, and they swing harder.
  • CORO The sticker is 0.55% net of a waiver through June 30, 2027; gross runs 1.06% because the country funds inside charge their own fees on top of the management fee.
  • Index-style international peers ask less: DFIC at 0.22%, AVDE at 0.23%. TACN charges no fee at all, waived through January 30, 2027.
  • Active country tilts mean the country mix can look nothing like a broad international index, and with a December 2024 start the live record is still short.
