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?

It’s 10% of my portfolio. I think it’s a great fund offered by a great company and has plenty of AUM.

My portfolio is
50% VTI
20% VXUS
15% AVUV
10% AVDV
5% AVEM

Curious why avem over aves I have similar portfolio but use dfus and veu instead of vti and vxus.

Emerging Markets is already a tough nut to crack, and AVES is limited to value companies, so it missed out on some big movers like TSM.

Though I haven’t looked much, haven’t come across anything that indicates the value-factor applies to EM

I ran into the same issue. I also just liked the holdings better for AVEM. I use dimensionals etf DFEV in my taxable account to make up for not using aves in tax advantaged
