Our read on each fund
AVESA
ROAMB
In short
AVES Avantis starts with the emerging markets universe and tilts it: cheap valuations, profitable companies, roughly 1,800 names from megacaps down to small caps. Broad EM exposure with a deliberate value-and-quality slant, priced under the typical multifactor rival.
ROAM Emerging markets, rebuilt by rulebook: ROAM's index screens roughly 300 stocks for value, quality and momentum, and is built to balance risk against return instead of letting the biggest markets set the agenda.
Stated mandate
AVES The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
ROAM The Fund seeks to track the total return of the Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets Equity Index, a rules-based emerging-markets equity index designed to balance risk and return while emphasizing favorable factor characteristics.
