Avantis International Large Cap Value ETF is rated a buy, capitalizing on oversold conditions post-Iran conflict and a potential ceasefire-driven rebound. AVIV offers active management, a strong value tilt, and a 0.25% expense ratio—cheaper than passive peers—while emphasizing energy and industrial exposures. The fund's 15% energy overweight positions AVIV to benefit from sustained high oil prices and a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Avantis International Large Cap Value ETF offers an actively managed international portfolio of over 500 stocks. AVIV emphasizes value, quality, and size factors, outperforming the ex-US benchmark IXUS since inception. The ETF is diversified, with a focus on Europe and significant exposure in financials, and boasts strong recent performance and rising distributions.
