Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AVTMAAvantis Total Equity Markets ETF 1

GEQACambria Global EW 2 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.

GEQ Equal weight, worldwide: every large cap gets the same slice, so a few mega caps don't run the show. Cambria launched it through a Section 351 exchange, built as a landing spot for concentrated, low-basis stock.

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.

GEQ The fund seeks capital appreciation through diversified exposure to global equities, using an equal-weighted approach intended to reduce concentration and improve diversification relative to market-cap weighting.

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.
  • GEQ Equal weighting keeps the giants in line: holdings get the same target slice, so the portfolio doesn't hinge on a handful of trillion-dollar names.cambriafunds.com
  • 0.27% a year: well under the typical active global equity fund, and in the same neighborhood as the cheapest names in the group, AVGE and DFAW.
  • Launched with a Section 351 exchange, letting qualifying investors contribute appreciated securities for fund shares without immediately realizing the gain.yahoo.com
  • Global means global: US and overseas large caps sit in one ticker, instead of a domestic fund bolted to an international sleeve.cambriafunds.com

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
  • GEQ It started trading in 2026, so the track record is short and risk measures rest on a thin window of data.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's household names, so spreads can widen. Limit orders matter more here than with a mega-fund.
  • Staying equal takes work: periodic rebalancing can mean more turnover and trading costs than a cap-weighted fund, which lets winners ride for free.cambriafunds.com
