AVGE ETF: War, Oil Shocks, And Nothing To Show Yet For Active Management
Trading and market makerManagement
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.
