AVUV

The Avantis U.S. Small‑Cap Value ETF (AVUV) invests in a broadly diversified set of U.S. small‑capitalization equities, emphasizing value‑oriented stocks across sectors such as financials, consumer discretionary, energy, industrials and technology, with virtually all holdings denominated in U.S. dollars. Its investment approach screens for companies that combine relatively low valuations with strong profitability, using the Russell 2000 Value universe as a starting point and then applying an active, profitability‑focused overlay to select higher‑quality small‑cap firms. The fund’s broad, low‑turnover portfolio aims to provide exposure to the long‑run return potential of U.S. small‑cap value while mitigating concentration risk. It is most suitable for investors seeking diversified, long‑term exposure to the U.S. small‑cap value segment and who are comfortable with the higher volatility typical of this market‑cap range.
