About Avantis Responsible Emerging Markets Equity ETF (AVSE)

Avantis Responsible Emerging Markets Equity ETF (AVSE) is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of responsible companies in emerging markets. The fund aims to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets ex Fossil Fuels Index, which consists of companies that have been screened for certain responsible investment criteria. These criteria include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, as well as the exclusion of companies involved in controversial weapons, tobacco, or fossil fuels.

AVSE seeks to generate long-term capital growth by investing in a broad range of emerging market companies. By focusing on responsible investing, the fund aims to align investors' financial goals with their values. This approach takes into consideration not only the financial performance of companies, but also their impact on the environment and society. The fund employs a systematic, rules-based investment process that combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify companies with strong ESG profiles.
