About Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (AVDV)

Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (AVDV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Avantis International Small Cap Value Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small capitalization companies located in developed and emerging markets outside the United States. AVDV utilizes a systematic, factor-based approach to investing, focusing on the value factor. The fund combines the expertise of financial economic principles with rigorous empirical evidence to design investment strategies.

AVDV's investment strategy is based on the belief that market inefficiencies can be exploited through a disciplined and systematic investment approach. The fund aims to capture the long-term excess returns associated with undervalued securities. AVDV employs a multi-factor model that evaluates stocks based on their book-to-market ratio, cash flow-to-price ratio, and sales-to-price ratio. By focusing on securities with low relative valuations, AVDV seeks to identify opportunities for potentially higher returns.
