AV Avantis All Equity Markets ETF
AVGE - US0250722321 100.00%
This portfolio is extremely simple: 100% is invested in a single global equity ETF, the Avantis All Equity Markets ETF. That means all exposure to markets, sectors, and regions flows through one diversified fund rather than a mix of different products. This kind of structure is easy to understand and monitor, because changes in the portfolio come only from what happens inside that ETF. The trade-off is that there is no second layer of diversification across different managers or strategies. Overall, the composition delivers broad stock-market exposure with a streamlined structure that behaves like an all-in-one global equity solution.
Growth
Historically, a $1,000 investment in this portfolio grew to $2,105 over the period, giving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.64%. CAGR is like average speed on a long trip, smoothing out ups and downs. The portfolio slightly lagged both the US market and the global market by around 0.5–1.2 percentage points per year, which is a modest gap. Max drawdown, the largest peak‑to‑trough fall, was −17.17%, a bit smaller than the US market’s drop in the same period. This shows strong returns with typical equity-level swings; however, the timeframe is short and unusually strong, so it may not reflect more “normal” decades.
Projection
The forward projection uses a Monte Carlo simulation, which means the computer takes the portfolio’s historical risk and return pattern and creates 1,000 alternate futures by mixing and reshuffling those returns. It then shows a range of possible 15‑year outcomes rather than one precise forecast. Here, the median outcome turns $1,000 into about $2,936, while the middle half of simulations (25th–75th percentile) ranges from $1,879 to $4,433. There are also more extreme paths, from roughly flat to very strong growth. This highlights that long‑term results can vary widely, and simulated numbers are just scenarios based on past data, not promises.
Asset classes
- Stocks 100%
All of this portfolio is in stocks, with 0% in bonds, cash, or alternative assets. That means the portfolio’s ups and downs are entirely driven by the equity markets rather than being dampened by more stable asset classes. Stocks historically offer higher long‑term growth potential but also larger short‑term swings. Having 100% in equities usually means returns will be closely tied to the global economic and corporate profit cycle. The “Balanced Investors” risk label in your overview comes from the provider’s framework, but from an asset-class perspective this is a pure equity portfolio with no built‑in buffer from other asset types.
Sectors
- Technology 21%
- Financials 18%
- Industrials 14%
- Consumer Discretionary 12%
- Energy 8%
- Telecommunications 7%
- Health Care 6%
- Basic Materials 5%
- Consumer Staples 5%
- Real Estate 3%
- Utilities 2%
Sector exposure is broad but not even, with technology at 21% and financials at 18% as the two largest slices. Industrials, consumer discretionary, and energy also have meaningful weights, while areas like real estate and utilities are smaller. This pattern is broadly in line with many global equity benchmarks that lean toward economically sensitive sectors. Tech at around one‑fifth is noticeable but not extreme, suggesting some sensitivity to innovation and growth trends without being “tech‑heavy.” A diversified spread across multiple sectors helps reduce the impact if any single industry faces a difficult period, though cyclical sectors together can still amplify overall volatility.
Regions
- North America 71%
- Europe Developed 10%
- Asia Developed 6%
- Japan 4%
- Asia Emerging 4%
- Australasia 1%
- Latin America 1%
- Africa/Middle East 1%
Geographically, about 71% of the portfolio sits in North America, with the rest spread across developed Europe, Japan, other developed Asia, and several emerging regions. This North American tilt is common in global equity funds and reflects the large weight of US companies in global markets. It does, however, mean most corporate earnings and currency exposure are tied to one major region. The remaining 29% provides useful diversification across other economies and policy environments. This regional mix has been beneficial in recent years while US markets led, but it also means portfolio behavior is heavily influenced by North American market cycles and interest-rate moves.
Market capitalization
- Mega-cap 28%
- Mid-cap 27%
- Large-cap 26%
- Small-cap 12%
- Micro-cap 6%
By market capitalization, the portfolio is nicely spread: roughly 28% mega‑cap, 26% large‑cap, 27% mid‑cap, 12% small‑cap, and 6% micro‑cap. Market cap is simply the total value of a company’s shares, and different sizes tend to behave differently over time. This allocation shows a clear tilt toward smaller and mid-sized companies compared with many traditional cap‑weighted global indices, which are usually dominated by mega‑caps. Smaller stocks can offer higher growth potential but often come with more volatility and less liquidity. Blending all size segments helps smooth out size‑specific risks while giving exposure to a broad opportunity set across the corporate spectrum.

- Top 10 total 13.40%
Looking through the ETF’s top holdings, the largest single company exposures remain modest: Apple at 2.39%, NVIDIA at 2.17%, Amazon at 1.72%, and Microsoft at 1.58%. Even combining these names, no single company dominates the portfolio. Overlap risk is low here because everything comes through the same fund rather than multiple overlapping ETFs, and the top positions are all under 3%. The note that only top‑10 ETF holdings are used means some concentration further down the list is not visible, but with a broad all‑equity fund, hidden single‑stock concentration is typically limited compared with a more focused or thematic strategy.
Factors
Factor exposure shows clear tilts: value at 69%, size at 66%, and low volatility at 61% are all in the “high” range. Factors are like investing “ingredients” that describe why securities behave as they do. A value tilt means more exposure to stocks trading at lower prices relative to fundamentals, which can fare better when markets favor cheaper companies. A size tilt indicates more mid/small‑cap exposure than the market, often leading to higher variability and different return cycles. The higher low‑volatility reading suggests a bias toward somewhat steadier names. Momentum, quality, and yield sit around neutral, so the portfolio’s behavior will be especially shaped by value and size cycles.
Risk contribution
-
Avantis All Equity Markets ETF
Weight: 100.00% 100.0%
Because the entire allocation is in one ETF, that single fund contributes 100% of the portfolio’s risk. Risk contribution measures how much each holding drives total volatility, and here the weight and risk contribution are identical. There is no diversification across different vehicles or managers at the portfolio level, only inside the ETF itself. This setup keeps things straightforward: portfolio risk rises or falls entirely with this fund’s strategy and implementation. The benefit is simplicity and coherence; the trade-off is that any style or factor bias in the ETF flows straight through without being offset by other holdings with different characteristics.
Dividends
- Avantis All Equity Markets ETF 1.60%
- Weighted yield (per year) 1.60%
The ETF’s dividend yield is 1.60%, which is a modest but meaningful income component for a global equity fund. Dividend yield measures the cash distributions as a percentage of the current price, so here a $1,000 holding might generate around $16 per year before taxes, assuming yields stay similar. For an all‑equity portfolio, total return will still be driven mostly by price changes rather than income. A mid‑range yield like this often reflects a mix of growth-oriented companies that reinvest earnings and more mature firms that pay regular dividends, creating a balance between potential capital appreciation and ongoing cash flow.
Ongoing product costs
- Avantis All Equity Markets ETF 0.23%
- Weighted costs total (per year) 0.23%
The total expense ratio (TER) of the ETF is 0.23%, so about $2.30 per year per $1,000 invested goes to fund operating costs. TER is an annual fee taken inside the fund, quietly reducing returns a little each year. Compared with many actively managed equity funds, 0.23% is relatively low, and for a specialized all‑equity strategy it’s competitive. Costs matter because even small percentage differences compound over time. In this case, the fee level supports the portfolio by keeping more of the gross return in investors’ hands, especially when combined with the simplicity of managing just one position.
