AVLV vs GVLU

AVLVAAvantis U.S. Large Cap Value ETF

GVLUCGotham 1000 Value ETF

In short

AVLV —No data

GVLU Plenty of value funds just sort stocks by a ratio. GVLU runs Gotham's own valuation on hundreds of mid- and large-cap US names and leans hardest into the widest discounts, at a price below the typical active value fund.

Stated mandate

AVLV —No data

GVLU The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It invests in 400–600 mid- to large-capitalization U.S.-listed-company equities and weights holdings toward companies trading at the largest discount to Gotham’s value assessment, subject to risk and diversification constraints.

Why people hold it

AVLV —No data

• GVLU Charges 0.50% a year, a shade under the median fee for active US value funds.
• Holds several hundred mid- and large-cap US stocks under risk and diversification limits, tilting weight toward the widest gaps between price and Gotham's own value estimate.
• Sits in the upper half of a crowded active value field, and the portfolio construction is the strongest part of the package.
• Live since 2022 as a fully active fund, so it answers to a valuation process rather than an index calendar.

Worth knowing

AVLV —No data

• GVLU Index-built value peers undercut it on fee: AVLV at 0.15%, WTV at 0.12%. The extra cost buys Gotham's valuation work rather than a rules-based screen.
• Thinly traded and small by ETF standards, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than in the giant index value funds.
• Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly, and with no benchmark index the portfolio's shape depends entirely on Gotham's model.
