AVGV vs OAKG

AVGVAAvantis All Equity Markets Value ETF 9

OAKGCOakmark Global Large Cap ETF

In short

AVGV One ticker for the world's value stocks: AVGV stacks six Avantis value funds into a 60% US, 30% developed, 10% emerging mix, small caps included, for 0.26% all in.

OAKG Oakmark's value discipline in an ETF: a global large-cap portfolio picked stock by stock rather than tracked from an index, with long-term capital appreciation as the stated goal. Launched December 2025.

Stated mandate

AVGV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through a fund-of-funds structure investing in other Avantis ETFs. Those underlying funds are broadly diversified equity portfolios that select or overweight securities expected to offer higher returns or better risk characteristics than a passive market-cap-weighted index.

OAKG The ETF seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

• AVGV Holds US large, mid and small value plus developed and emerging value in one ticker, at 60/30/10 target weights the managers can flex within stated ranges.sec.gov
• The 0.26% headline covers the underlying Avantis funds too, and sits below the category median and below SFGV's 0.33% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027.sec.gov
• Small and mid caps ride alongside large caps, so the value tilt reaches corners of the market a large-cap-only value fund leaves out.sec.gov

• OAKG 0.62% a year sits a hair under the 0.63% median for its global-value cohort: active management at the going rate, not a premium.
• Undercuts the cohort's priciest active peers, COPY (0.89%) and FPAG (0.86%), on fee.
• The mandate is spelled out in the filings: global equities, large caps, a value philosophy, long-term capital appreciation. You know what you own.
• Global by design, so the manager can hunt cheap large caps outside the US, not just in the S&P 500.

Worth knowing

• AVGV Value and size tilts are built in, so results can diverge from a market-cap global index for long stretches.sec.gov
• Every holding is an Avantis fund, so one firm's definition of value and one team's allocation calls drive the whole portfolio.sec.gov
• Around 40% of the target sits outside the US, bringing currency moves and emerging market risk; the fund also only launched in 2023.sec.gov

• OAKG It opened in December 2025. Short history, and no long record to judge the ETF version against.
• Trading has been light since launch and the asset base is small, which can mean wider spreads than at the cohort's bigger funds.
• Cheaper shelf-mates exist in the same cohort: AVGV at 0.28%, SFGV at 0.38%. The extra fee here buys human stock picking.
