Overview
The Avantis International Equity ETF (AVDE) is an International Developed fund managed by Avantis Investors with $17.2 billion in assets under management. Currently trading at $89.81, the fund holds an overall rank of #48 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B+ with a score of 75.6. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.23% and offers a dividend yield of 2.47%. Its substantial asset base and high ranking suggest significant investor adoption within the 22 ETFs tracked in its specific category. The combination of a moderate expense ratio and a yield above 2% positions the fund as a cost-effective income-generating vehicle for international equity exposure. The price level of $89.81 reflects the fund's accumulated performance and capitalization relative to its peers.
Over the last day, the fund gained 0.46%, followed by a 0.54% increase over the week and a 1.50% rise in the past month. The three-month return accelerated to 2.69%, while the six-month performance reached 5.83%. Year-to-date returns stand at 9.53%, and the one-year return is recorded at 20.93%. The long-term trajectory shows significant growth with a 3-year return of 64.56%. This pattern indicates a consistent upward trend that has strengthened over longer holding periods compared to shorter intervals. The data shows a clear divergence between short-term fluctuations and the robust multi-year appreciation.
The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 0.88, indicating it has historically moved less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.05 suggests the fund has generated a favorable risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. The maximum drawdown of -13.46% represents the largest peak-to-trough decline observed during the measurement period. This combination of a beta below 1.0 and a moderate volatility rating implies the fund tends to experience smaller swings than the general market in both up and down conditions. The Sharpe ratio further supports the view that the fund has effectively compensated investors for the risk taken during these periods.

AVDE Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.02% and average daily volume is 1.1M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $17.2B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: AVDE is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
