AVUVAAvantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF

In short

AVLV No data

AVUV The Dimensional playbook in an ETF wrapper: roughly 800 cheap U.S. small caps, weighted so the profitable ones count for more, run actively for a quarter of a percent a year.

Stated mandate

AVLV No data

AVUV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in U.S. small-cap companies selected for low valuations and higher profitability. It combines broad diversification and efficient implementation with active decisions based on current market information.

Why people hold it

AVLV No data

  • AVUV 0.25% a year, less than half the typical actively run U.S. small-cap fund, and well under the 0.47% at BSVO, which points at the same Russell 2000 Value yardstick.
  • Cheap alone can mean cheap-and-broken. Avantis screens for profitability alongside low valuations, so higher-earning small caps carry more weight.avantisinvestors.com
  • About 800 names: a value tilt delivered with index-like breadth rather than a stock picker's short list, and distributions land quarterly.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and one of the strongest implementations in the active U.S. small-cap group.

Worth knowing

AVLV No data

  • AVUV This is a style bet, not a market proxy. Small caps priced for value swing harder than the broad market and can move out of step with it for long stretches.
  • Active, not an index tracker. The Russell 2000 Value is a reference point, not a leash, so the holdings and the ride can diverge from it.
  • Sibling AVSC charges the same 0.25% but casts a wider small-cap net, so the real question is how much value tilt you want.
