AVLCAAvantis U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

TIMEDClockwise U.S. Core Equity ETF

In short

AVLC Active management with index-fund manners: roughly 900 U.S. large caps, with the dial turned toward cheaper, more profitable companies. Avantis charges 0.15% a year to do it.

TIME A hand-run book of about 30 US stocks that can duck into cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs or covered calls when the manager wants less volatility. Active pricing: 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026.

Stated mandate

AVLC The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It invests broadly in U.S. large-capitalization companies while using active decisions to overweight lower valuations and higher profitability.

TIME The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Why people hold it

  • AVLC 0.15% a year against a 0.65% median for active U.S. equity funds. That is passive-style pricing on an actively run book.
  • Holds about 900 names against the Russell 1000, so the value and profitability tilts sit on top of broad market exposure instead of a concentrated bet.avantisinvestors.com
  • One of the stronger builds in the active U.S. equity group, priced in the same neighborhood as the Dimensional core funds (DFAU, DFAC) it competes with.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades steadily, so spreads and liquidity are rarely the sticking point. Distributions are paid quarterly.
  • TIME Concentrated on purpose: about 30 US names, so each pick carries real weight instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.
  • Defensive levers stay on the table. Cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs and covered calls are part of the toolkit, which plain core equity funds rarely touch.tradingview.com
  • Live since January 2022, so there is a multi-year record of real money under one adviser, not a backtest.
  • The adviser is absorbing part of the cost: 0.96% net versus 1.02% gross, with that waiver running through December 29, 2026.

Worth knowing

  • AVLC Launched in 2023. The tilt philosophy is well worn at Avantis, but this fund's own live record is still short.
  • Active, not index-tracking. The Russell 1000 is a reference point, not a leash, so holdings and weights can drift from it.
  • Leaning toward cheaper, higher-profitability companies means stretches where it moves differently from the plain cap-weighted market, in either direction.avantisinvestors.com
  • TIME Cost is the trade-off. 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026 (1.02% gross) is above the category median, next to systematic peers DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15%.
  • A small fund that trades thinly: spreads can run wide and a sizable order can move the price on its own.
  • The mandate has moved. It launched in 2022 around 5G and innovation themes and was renamed to U.S. Core Equity at the end of 2025, so its history spans different strategies.tradingview.com
