Our read on each fund
AVSDB
VSGXA
In short
AVSD Avantis runs its value-and-profitability playbook across roughly 2,100 developed-market stocks outside the US, then layers ESG exclusions on top. Active tilts in an aisle mostly stocked with cap-weighted index screens.
VSGX Most ex-US ESG funds stop at big developed-market names. VSGX casts a wider net: large, mid and small caps across developed and emerging markets, minus the industries its index screens out, for 0.10% a year.
Stated mandate
AVSD The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of companies across non-U.S. developed countries. It emphasizes lower valuations and higher profitability while applying ESG exclusions.
VSGX The Fund seeks to track an index of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks from developed and emerging markets outside the United States, subject to environmental, social, and corporate-governance screening.
