Our read on each fund
AVSEA
RWEMC
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.
RWEM A Rayliant and Wilshire tie-up in active emerging-markets equity: one job, long-term capital appreciation, at a fee below what the typical active EM peer charges. Small and thinly traded, so patience at the order screen comes with it.
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.
RWEM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
