About this ETF
The Avantis U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF allocates capital across a broad spectrum of smaller American companies, with security selection and weighting carefully guided by factors such as intrinsic value, earning potential, and capital investment strategies. While aiming to deliver advantages typically found in index-based investing—like extensive diversification, reduced trading activity, clear holdings, and tax efficiency—it further distinguishes itself by actively seeking to enhance value through investment decisions informed by current market prices. The fund employs an optimized management and trading process, engineered to boost investor returns while simultaneously striving to lower unnecessary risks and expenses. Ultimately, it is crafted for smooth integration into an investor's overall asset allocation strategy.

Latest News for AVSC
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days — showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
