AVDVAAvantis International Small Cap Value ETF

AVIVAAvantis International Large Cap Value ETF

In short

AVDV Foreign small-cap value is the thin, overlooked corner of the world market. AVDV works it with index-like breadth, roughly 1,700 overseas small caps screened for cheap prices and real profits, at a fee well under its peer group's median.

AVIV Avantis takes the academic value playbook overseas: about 600 developed-market large caps screened for cheap prices and strong profitability, at 0.25% a year. Active management without the active-manager price tag.

Stated mandate

AVDV Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in non-U.S. developed small-cap companies selected for low valuations and higher profitability ratios.

AVIV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through a broadly diversified portfolio of large-capitalization companies in non-U.S. developed countries.

Why people hold it

  • AVDV Charges 0.36% a year, well under the median for active international value funds and below peers like JIVE (0.55%) and FEOE (0.50%).
  • Holds roughly 1,700 non-US developed small caps and stacks a profitability screen on top of the value screen, aimed at the cheap-for-a-reason names.avantisinvestors.com
  • Live since 2019 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands readily, which matters when the underlying holdings are small foreign stocks.
  • One of the stronger builds in its active international value group: broad, cheap, and rules-driven rather than a manager's hunch list.avantisinvestors.com
  • AVIV 0.25% a year, against a roughly 0.65% median across active international value funds. Cheap enough that the fee stops being the deciding factor.
  • Two screens, not one: cheap valuations plus higher profitability. Both factors are written into the mandate rather than left to a manager's mood.
  • About 600 large caps spread across non-US developed markets, so no single name or country steers the fund. Breadth is the design, not a byproduct.
  • Among the active international value ETFs we cover, one of the strongest implementations in the group, and it has been running since 2021.

Worth knowing

  • AVDV Small caps abroad plus a value tilt can swing harder than big-name international funds, and currency moves flow straight through to results.avantisinvestors.com
  • Actively managed with no index to replicate, so holdings follow Avantis' models. MSCI World ex-USA Small Cap is the yardstick, not the blueprint.avantisinvestors.com
  • Developed markets only, and it pays quarterly rather than monthly. For overseas large-cap value, sibling fund AVIV runs 0.25%.
  • AVIV Value tilts can lag the broad market for long stretches. This one holds the tilt through those stretches rather than trying to time it.
  • Active, with no published index behind it. You are buying the Avantis process, not a rulebook you can audit line by line.
  • Large caps only. The same approach for smaller overseas companies lives in a sibling fund, AVDV, which charges 0.36%.
