AVTM vs MNVT

AVTMAAvantis Total Equity Markets ETF 1

MNVTDMoonvest 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.

MNVT Moonvest runs a contrarian global stock mandate written into its prospectus: lean against the crowd instead of hugging the world index. Actively managed, launched in 2026, and priced at 0.75% in a category stocked with cheap index rivals.

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.

MNVT The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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.

• MNVT The contrarian tilt is a stated mandate, not marketing copy. The prospectus defines a global, all-equity strategy aimed at long-term capital appreciation.
• Genuinely global remit. The manager can hunt across markets rather than working inside a US-only fence.
• Plain 1940 Act ETF plumbing: an open-end fund you buy in any brokerage account, with 1099 tax reporting instead of a partnership K-1.

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

• MNVT At 0.75%, it costs more than the median fund in its global equity group, and broad rivals run far cheaper (GSWO at 0.15%, AVGE at 0.25%). You pay for manager judgment.
• It launched in 2026, so there is little history to judge, and our risk read rests on a short window. It currently sits in the lower half of its active global equity peers.
• Smaller fund, lighter trading. Bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category's giants, which matters most on large or hurried orders.
