AVEMAAvantis Emerging Markets Equity ETF

RNEMCFirst Trust Emerging Markets Equity Select ETF

In short

AVEM Emerging markets taken whole: roughly 3,900 stocks, large down to small, with an active tilt toward cheaper and more profitable companies. Avantis charges about half the typical active EM fee to do it.

RNEM The calm corner of emerging markets: a Nasdaq-calculated index picks the 25 lowest-volatility stocks in each EM country, then modified-equal-weights them. Fee is 0.75%, with no waiver.

Stated mandate

AVEM Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a broad range of companies across emerging-market countries and all market capitalizations.

RNEM The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Nasdaq Riskalyze Emerging MarketsTM Index. It normally invests at least 90% of assets in the common stocks and depositary receipts included in that index.

Why people hold it

AVEM Fee is 0.33% a year against a 0.65% median for active emerging-markets funds, so the active tilt starts from a low-cost base.
Owns roughly 3,900 names across the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI universe, including small caps, rather than a short stock-picker's list.avantisinvestors.com
Active, but rules-driven: the portfolio leans toward lower valuations and higher profitability instead of relying on manager hunches.
Running since 2019 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund. One of the strongest implementations in its emerging-markets peer group.

RNEM Rather than cap-weighting EM megacaps, the index screens each country for its 25 steadiest names by trailing 12-month volatility, then rebalances twice a year.sec.gov ftportfolios.com
Spreads the money wide: roughly 300 stocks, at least 90% of assets in index names and depositary receipts, with cash paid out quarterly.
The index was built by Riskalyze, the firm behind the risk-scoring software advisors run on client portfolios, and is calculated by Nasdaq. RNEM is the only ETF linked to it.sec.gov nasdaqomx.com

Worth knowing

AVEM Emerging-market equity is a bumpy asset class, and returns arrive in dollars, so local currency swings add a second layer of movement.
The value and profitability tilts are the whole point, which means the fund is built to drift from a plain market-cap EM index, sometimes for long stretches.
No China carve-out: this one takes the full EM opportunity set. Avantis runs AVXC on the same approach for those who want it without China.

RNEM At 0.75% with no fee waiver, it sits above the emerging-markets category median and well above peers like AVEM and JEMA at 0.33%. The volatility screen is what you pay up for.
A small fund that trades lightly next to the category's index giants, so bid-ask spreads can run wider.
Country lines come from Nasdaq's own emerging-markets classification, so the country mix can differ from MSCI-based rivals; overall it lands in the lower half of its peer group.sec.gov
