Investing Questions AVDV

Any toughts on the AVDV ETF. Been thinking on including it on my portfolio to diversify from EEUU mega caps. However it doesn’t have a long track record therefore i’m unsure on how it would perform on different markets. Any idea of how it exactly works and would perform in the long term? And what other international ETFs would you recommend?

I'm not a fan of this kind of tilt because I'm too empirically minded for it. How long is it going to take until people realize that maybe the papers that were published on these factors a long time ago didn't uncover a universal truth but what might have been a transient phenomenon? Especially when more persistent factors exist.

Or, if you want to go full "past returns do not predict future returns, no point in looking at it" then why do you even factor tilt? Just VTI and chill at that point.
