AVTM vs CLUB

AVTMAAvantis Total Equity Markets ETF 1

CLUBDBillionaires Club ETF

In short

AVTM Avantis' one-ticket world stock market: roughly 1,700 holdings, U.S. names owned directly and the overseas sleeves held through sister Avantis funds, all tilted toward cheaper, more profitable companies.

CLUB One idea, stated plainly: own the companies that actually made someone rich. CLUB is an active global stock fund hunting businesses whose success built lasting fortunes for their founders, controlling shareholders and key operators.

Stated mandate

AVTM Seeks long-term capital appreciation through a broadly diversified total-market equity allocation, using individual securities and Avantis ETFs while emphasizing securities expected to offer higher returns or better risk characteristics than a passive market-capitalization-weighted index.

CLUB The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is an actively managed ETF investing in equity securities, primarily companies whose success contributed to significant long-term wealth for founders, controlling shareholders, or key operators.

Why people hold it

• AVTM Costs 0.22% net of a fee waiver (0.23% gross), a notch under stablemate AVGE at 0.23% and below the typical fee in its category.
• Owns U.S. companies directly rather than only stacking funds, then uses Avantis ETFs for developed and emerging markets abroad. One ticket, all market caps.sec.gov
• Benchmarked to 85% Russell 3000 and 15% MSCI ACWI ex-US IMI: a deliberately U.S.-heavy world portfolio, not a global cap-weight split.avantisinvestors.com
• One of the stronger builds in a crowded field of actively managed global equity funds.

• CLUB The mandate is refreshingly literal. It targets companies whose success created significant long-term wealth for founders, controlling shareholders or key operators. Skin in the game, used as a stock screen.
• Global by design. Developed international and emerging markets are both in scope, so the founder hunt isn't fenced into US large caps.
• Advertised tilts toward growth and profitability, meaning the screen leans on businesses already earning money rather than pure story stocks.
• A conventional 1940 Act fund wrapper with an active manager, so there's no index to hug and no exotic structure underneath the ticker.

Worth knowing

• AVTM Avantis flags that much of the starting portfolio sits on a low tax basis, so the fund may realize and distribute more capital gains than other ETFs.avantisinvestors.com
• Trades thinly next to the index giants in its category, so spreads and order size matter more here.
• Launched January 2026, so the history is short, and with no index to follow the portfolio reflects Avantis' own valuation and profitability tilts.sec.gov

• CLUB At 0.75% a year it sits well above the broad global core options, where GSWO charges 0.15% and AVGE 0.25%. Manager judgment is the thing you're paying for.
• It launched in 2026, so there's only a short record and no full market cycle to judge the stock picking against.
• Small and thinly traded, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads than at a giant fund. Payouts come once or twice a year: this is a capital-appreciation mandate, not an income one.
