AVUS: Looking For Value In A Diversified Strategy
The Avantis US Equity ETF offers a portfolio heavily weighted toward large cap stocks with some added exposure to small-cap stocks, making it worth consideration for diversification. AVUS appears to have an attractive valuation based on a number of difference financial metrics with the potential for significant gains if the market rebounds. Despite its advantages, the fund has underperformed in recent years and carries the risk of continued struggles relative to its index due to active management.

AVUS: Broad Market Exposure With Low Valuation
AVUS ETF targets U.S. companies with attractive valuations and high profitability, maintaining a low turnover ratio and broad market cap allocation. Despite its low valuation and competitive expense ratio, AVUS's performance has been mixed, underperforming some peers over 3- and 5-year periods. The fund's sector allocation emphasizes financial services and energy, with limited exposure to high-growth technology stocks, affecting its earnings growth potential.

Where ETF Investors Put Money to Work on Election Week
My friend and industry veteran Dave Nadig used to call the exercise of interpreting ETF asset flows as “reading the tea leaves.” I have always loved that image because it suggests asset flows can be telling, but they are also open to interpretation.

AVUS: This Actively Managed ETF Still Has To Prove Itself
Avantis US Equity ETF is an actively managed fund focused on value and profitability. The AVUS ETF is better diversified across sectors and holdings than a broad benchmark. It also shows better valuation and growth metrics. However, it has not brought significant excess return since its inception, and it has lagged passive ETFs in value and quality since 2022.

AVUS: Actively Managed Low-Cost ETF Designed For Value Investors
AVUS is an actively managed total market fund with a low 0.15% expense ratio. Diversification is excellent, and it's an efficient way for investors to lessen exposure to Magnificent Seven stocks. AVUS trades at a three-point discount to VTI, a passively managed alternative. The offset is lower growth, but that strategy should work well if growth stocks fall out of favor. However, my analysis reveals AVUS's selections have lower profitability margins across the board, a finding that runs counter to the claims on its Fact Sheet.
