"It's always exciting to bring another solution to the market, especially when we know it is fulfilling a client need," said Phil McInnis , chief investment strategist, Avantis Investors. "Everything we do at Avantis is with our clients in mind. This mentality has contributed to the strong growth and adoption we've experienced over the last several years."
AVTM invests in a broad set of companies of all market capitalizations across U.S. and non-U.S. developed and emerging markets believed to have higher expected returns2 or better risk characteristics than a passive, market-cap weighted index. AVTM pursues its objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of individual companies and other ETFs. It has a net expense ratio of 0.22%** and a gross expense ratio of 0.23%.
The fund is co-managed by Chief Investment Officer Eduardo Repetto , Senior Portfolio Managers Mitchell Firestein , Daniel Ong, CFA and Ted Randall , and Portfolio Manager Matthew Dubin .
Avantis offers 45 investment strategies across the United States, Australia and Europe, with listings in London, Frankfurt and Zurich.

In December 2025, six years after its founding, Avantis hit $100 billion in assets under management.***
