AVSC offers exposure to 1000+ small-cap stocks with attractive value and profitability characteristics. Its expense ratio is 0.25% and the ETF has $1.27 billion in assets under management. Exposure to the size factor is high, and AVSC's $1.44 billion weighted average market cap is one of the lowest among any U.S. Equity ETF trading today.
