Investment Thesis

Emerging markets are where factor premiums have historically run hottest, and AVEM applies the Avantis playbook — tilt toward value and profitability, avoid the lottery-ticket junk — across the entire EM universe including China. A $16B year of inflows made it the fastest-growing EM fund in the business, and the +33% return shows the broad EM revival wasn't only a Taiwan story.

Who It's For

EM allocators who want the whole asset class, China included, with systematic tilts instead of cap-weight passivity. The all-in-one counterpart to holding EMXC plus a China fund separately.
