Eduardo Repetto, Chief Investment Officer, Avantis Investors joined Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss the firm’s advisor-centric approach to investing.
Repetto, an industry veteran and former leader at Dimensional Fund Advisors, joined American Century to help build out a new advisor-centric investment group, now known as Avantis Investors. Avantis launched in September of 2019 with five equity strategies, available in ETFs and mutual funds. This year, the firm expanded its ETF lineup to include core fixed income, short term fixed income and municipal bond strategies.
Avantis ETF Lineup
- Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF (AVIG)
- Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF (AVMU)
- Avantis Emerging Markets Equity ETF (AVEM)
- Avantis International Equity ETF (AVDE)
- Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (AVDV)
- Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF (AVSF)
- Avantis U.S. Equity ETF (AVUS)
- Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (AVUV)
Ultimately, Avantis was formed with the mission of “helping advisors help their clients,” says Repetto. The firm’s cost-conscious investment approach centers around forward looking factors such as market pricing and valuations. Leveraging American Century’s decades of active investment expertise, cutting edge technology, and a systematic repeatable process, Avantis aims to outperform the benchmark and deliver above average returns.
