About AVENX
Avantis Emerging Markets Equity Fund G Class is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities from emerging market countries. The fund strategically allocates at least 80% of its assets to stocks of companies tied to emerging economies, typically referencing constituents of the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Index as a guide for country selection. With a broadly diversified portfolio exceeding 3,200 holdings, the fund maintains exposure across a range of market capitalizations, targeting both large and small firms. Major country weights include China, India, Taiwan, and South Korea, reflecting a focus on the largest and most dynamic emerging markets.
The fund's sector allocation is led by financials and information technology, with additional representation in consumer discretionary, industrials, and materials, offering investors broad access to sectors driving growth in developing economies. The G Class features annual dividend distributions and an open minimum investment, appealing to individual investors seeking diversification outside developed markets. By blending the broad diversification benefits of indexing with a focus on companies trading at lower valuations and higher profitability, the fund plays a significant role in portfolios aiming for global diversification and participation in the growth potential of emerging markets.
