Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AVLVAAvantis U.S. Large Cap Value ETF

ZIGFThe Acquirers Fund

In short

AVLV No data

ZIG Tobias Carlisle turned his own valuation metric, the Acquirer's Multiple (enterprise value over operating earnings), into an ETF: roughly 30 US names picked the way a buyer of the whole business would shop, cheap on operating earnings with a clean balance sheet.

Stated mandate

AVLV No data

ZIG The fund is a U.S. domestic equity ETF pursuing a concentrated deep-value strategy with a mid-cap tilt.

Why people hold it

AVLV No data

  • ZIG Built on one published metric: the Acquirer's Multiple, enterprise value divided by operating earnings, the math a buyer of the whole company would run.etfstrategy.com
  • Concentrated on purpose. Roughly 30 US names drawn from the largest quarter of the market, so each holding actually matters.aaii.com
  • Deep value with a mid-cap tilt, a different shape from large-cap value peers like AVLV and DFLV.
  • Running the same strategy since its 2019 launch, from the firm founded by the metric's author.etfstrategy.com

Worth knowing

AVLV No data

  • ZIG At 0.75% a year it costs more than the typical US value fund, and well above index-based peers like AVLV (0.15%) and AVMV (0.20%).
  • One of the smaller, thinner-traded funds in its category, so spreads can be wider than on mainstream value ETFs.
  • Concentration cuts both ways: with about 30 positions one name can swing results, and the fund sits in the lower tier of its value peer group.aaii.com
