About AVSCX

The Avantis U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund - Institutional is an actively managed mutual fund focused on providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of U.S. small-cap companies. Its primary function is to capture the long-term growth potential of small-cap equities by selecting and weighting securities based on key factors such as valuation, profitability, and investment activity. Unlike traditional index funds, the fund seeks to enhance returns and manage risks through a disciplined, cost-conscious investment process that leverages information reflected in current market prices. The fund emphasizes diversification across sectors, with the largest allocations typically in financials, industrials, consumer discretionary, and healthcare, among others. With a low expense ratio characteristic of the institutional share class, it aims to deliver efficient portfolio management while minimizing unnecessary trading and associated costs. By targeting small-cap stocks that may be undervalued or possess higher quality attributes, the fund plays a significant role in supporting strategic asset allocation for institutional investors seeking broader exposure within U.S. equities.
