Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Stack three return premiums — international discount, small size, deep value — and screen for profitability so the junk stays out: that is AVDV, and the +40% trailing year is what happens when all three fire at once. Japanese industrials and European banks bought at single-digit earnings multiples did the heavy lifting. It remains one of the most volatile corners of the developed world, which is precisely why the expected return is there.
Who It's For
Factor investors completing the small-value tilt globally (usually paired with AVUV), with genuine multi-year patience. The strongest diversification bang per dollar in most evidence-based portfolios.
