The firm’s expansion is anchored by an investment process that leans heavily on academic financial science, prioritizing securities with higher expected returns. Two of its earliest active funds, the Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (AVUV) and the Avantis Emerging Markets Equity ETF (AVEM), have emerged as primary drivers of this growth, each now surpassing $25 billion in assets.
Avantis Investors Hits $150 Billion Milestone in Under Seven Years
Growth at Avantis Investors has accelerated to a record $150 billion in assets under management, a threshold reached just six months after the firm hit the $100 billion mark. Since launching its inaugural strategy in September 2019, the American Century Investments subsidiary has expanded rapidly across global markets.
Chief investment officer Eduardo Repetto credits the firm’s trajectory to a focus on competitive fee structures and responsive client service. This momentum extends beyond the U.S., bolstered by a strategic alliance with CIBC Asset Management in Canada and a doubled UCITS ETF lineup in Europe. As the firm manages over 40 strategies across ten countries, leadership maintains that the core priority remains refining its systematic process while integrating behavioral research into advisor-client relationships through its podcast, The Behavioral Divide.
