AVXCAAvantis Emerging Markets ex-China Equity ETF

SEEMBSEI Select Emerging Markets Equity ETF

In short

AVXC The China question, answered by subtraction. Avantis runs its usual emerging-markets playbook (roughly 2,800 stocks of every size, tilted toward the cheap and the profitable) with China left out entirely, for 0.33% a year.

SEEM No data

Stated mandate

AVXC The fund invests in a broad set of companies across emerging-market countries, excluding China, and spanning all market capitalizations. It seeks higher expected returns by overweighting securities with lower valuations and higher profitability ratios.

SEEM No data

Why people hold it

  • AVXC 0.33% a year, about half the typical fee among active EM funds, and the ex-China carve-out costs no more than Avantis charges on its with-China flagship, AVEM.
  • Roughly 2,800 holdings spanning all market-cap sizes, so removing China doesn't turn the fund into a concentrated bet on a few large markets.avantisinvestors.com
  • Actively run against MSCI Emerging Markets IMI rather than tracking it: the mandate overweights lower-valuation, higher-profitability companies.
  • One of the stronger builds in the active emerging-markets group we review, on cost and portfolio construction alike.

SEEM No data

Worth knowing

  • AVXC Thinly traded next to the giants of the category, so spreads and limit orders matter more on the way in and the way out.
  • Launched in 2024, so the live record is short and the risk picture is still forming.
  • Leaving China out is a real departure from standard EM exposure, and the value and small-cap tilts add more distance from a plain cap-weighted index.
