Our read on each fund
AVSEA
RNEMC
In short
AVSE Avantis's emerging markets workhorse with a values filter bolted on: the same profitability tilt and thousands-of-stocks build as its flagship EM fund, at the same 0.33% fee, minus the issuers its team flags on ESG grounds.
RNEM The calm corner of emerging markets: a Nasdaq-calculated index picks the 25 lowest-volatility stocks in each EM country, then modified-equal-weights them. Fee is 0.75%, with no waiver.
Stated mandate
AVSE The fund is an actively managed emerging-markets equity strategy that seeks to identify securities with higher expected returns while excluding issuers that raise concerns under the portfolio team's environmental, social, and governance evaluation.
RNEM The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Nasdaq Riskalyze Emerging MarketsTM Index. It normally invests at least 90% of assets in the common stocks and depositary receipts included in that index.
