AVESAAvantis Emerging Markets Value ETF

TLTEDNorthern Trust Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt ETF

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.

TLTE Most emerging-market factor funds cut the universe down to a few hundred names. TLTE keeps roughly 3,000 stocks and simply leans the weights toward small-cap and value. A tilt, not a screen.

Stated mandate

AVES The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

TLTE The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance of the Morningstar Emerging Markets Factor Tilt Index, providing exposure to emerging-market stocks with an emphasis on small-capitalization and value characteristics.

Why people hold it

  • AVES Charges 0.36% a year, below the 0.48% median for emerging markets multifactor funds. EM is where fee gaps usually run widest.
  • Two screens, not one: it tilts toward cheap valuations and toward high profitability, so the deep-value bucket gets a quality filter on the way in.avantisinvestors.com
  • Roughly 1,800 holdings across the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Value opportunity set, meaning small caps ride along rather than getting screened out.
  • Portfolio build sits in the top quartile of its EM multifactor peer group in our review, and the fund is a multi-billion-dollar, regularly traded name.
  • TLTE A tilt, not a screen: it holds roughly 3,000 emerging-market stocks and overweights the small-cap and value ones rather than cutting names out of the portfolio.sec.gov
  • Morningstar sorts each stock into one of 12 size-and-style boxes, then tilts the weights. Published rules, semi-annual reconstitution, no manager hunches.sec.govflexshares.com
  • Label and portfolio line up: broad emerging-market equity with the advertised small-cap and value lean, and it pays quarterly.
  • Live since 2012, which makes it one of the longer-running factor-tilt options in emerging markets.flexshares.com

Worth knowing

  • AVES Value in emerging markets means leaning into cheaper, cyclical corners of the market, plus currency swings. A bumpier ride than a plain broad EM index.
  • Cost is not the floor here: peer EMGF runs a multifactor EM portfolio for 0.26%, ten basis points less.
  • Launched in 2021, so its live record is shorter than the older EM factor funds it lines up against.
  • TLTE Cost is the trade-off: 0.57% net of a waiver through March 1, 2027 (0.58% gross), above the category median. EMGF charges 0.26% and FDEM 0.25%.
  • Thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than at the category's headline names and size orders can nudge the price.
  • Leaning into small and micro caps stacks extra volatility and liquidity risk on top of the usual currency and single-country swings, as the prospectus spells out.sec.gov
