Avantis All Equity Markets ETF is an actively managed global equity fund launched in 2022, targeting broad exposure via a fund-of-funds approach. AVGE has underperformed passive benchmarks like ACWI and VT, with little sector or geographic differentiation despite a slightly higher U.S. allocation and emerging markets tilt. With a 0.25% expense ratio and modest liquidity, AVGE's active management has not delivered outperformance, especially during recent market volatility.
Avantis All Equity Markets ETF has underperformed the passive ACWI index, particularly in late 2025, due to sector and regional misallocation. AVGE's active management and fund-of-funds structure have not delivered superior returns, with a higher beta (1.04) and lower Sharpe ratio (0.84) than peers. The ETF's portfolio is overweight energy and emerging markets, underweight tech, and includes all Avantis offerings, diluting its effectiveness versus benchmarks.
