AVSD offers a rare blend of ESG screening and factor-based investing, with strong diversification and a value tilt in developed ex-US markets. Performance is competitive with major international ETFs, and ESG screens have not meaningfully hurt returns compared to non-ESG peers. The fund's heavy financials weighting, limited growth exposure, and large-cap bias may dilute its appeal for those seeking broader diversification.

The fund represents a global investment vehicle focusing on diversifying its portfolio by purchasing equity securities from non-U.S. companies. It aims to cover an extensive range of countries, sectors, and industry groups to maximize the investment opportunities available to its stakeholders. The fund's strategy is not restricted by company market capitalization, allowing for investments in both large and small-cap companies. A significant portion of the fund's assets, at least 80%, is dedicated to equity securities under normal market conditions. This broad approach is designed to cater to investors looking for exposure to international markets without the need to manage individual foreign investments themselves.
This comprises the core of the fund's investment activities, focusing on purchasing stocks from diverse non-U.S. companies. By spreading investments across different countries and industry sectors, the fund aims to mitigate risks and capitalize on global market trends.
The fund's inclusive investment strategy does not limit itself to companies of a particular size. This flexibility allows the fund to pursue opportunities in both established large-cap companies and emerging small-cap entities, thus potentially maximizing returns for its investors.
By investing in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the fund exposes its investors to the potential benefits of currency appreciation. This strategy also introduces a layer of diversification beyond mere geographic or sectoral differences.
The fund may invest in foreign securities via American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and other similar arrangements. These instruments allow the fund to hold shares in foreign companies conveniently while offering a level of protection and oversight that is comparable to direct investments.
