Foreign Small & Mid Cap Equities

Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (AVDV) is an actively managed fund that seeks higher expected returns by investing in a broad, diversified portfolio of non-U.S. small-cap value companies across developed markets, with selection and weighting tilted toward firms with smaller market capitalizations, lower valuations, and higher profitability. The strategy combines index-like breadth and low costs with daily active oversight and emphasizes long-term factor premia rather than tracking a specific benchmark.
