AVDV — Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF
AVDV targets developed ex-U.S. small-cap value stocks with profitability screens in an active, implementation-focused factor wrapper.
AVDV price history
Total return (Yahoo adjusted close—dividends and splits per Yahoo), normalized to $10,000 at first available trade date. Educational only.
Strategy
The portfolio leans into value and size while emphasizing firms with stronger expected profitability than pure deep-value screens. It is active in execution but anchored to systematic factor inputs.
Turnover, country weights, and liquidity management matter for realized results in international small caps, where index-like replication can be expensive and capacity constrained.
Manager and Issuer Pedigree
Avantis is the systematic equity arm within the American Century platform and focuses on factor implementation quality rather than headline-theory marketing.
The sponsor is now a large ETF franchise by assets, giving AVDV meaningful scale and tradability compared with many niche international small-cap products.
Outperformance
Outperforms when value spreads and small-cap risk premia widen positively outside the U.S., especially in cyclical recoveries with broad earnings participation.
Underperforms during momentum-led mega-cap or growth-dominant tapes where international small value is left behind for extended periods.
