AVNM vs VXUS
Avantis All International Markets Equity ETF against Vanguard Total International Stock ETF: 3 years of returns, risk and today’s technical read, from Kavout’s own data.
AVNM did better over the period: $1,000 invested on Jun 29, 2023 would be worth $1,765 versus $1,630 for VXUS, a 76.5% versus 63.0% total return. AVNM also led over three years, one year, YTD, six months, and three months, while VXUS had the less-negative one-month result. The difference matters because AVNM generated 13.5 percentage points of additional cumulative return, although its 0.33% expense ratio is higher than VXUS’s 0.05%. Risk was broadly similar: AVNM’s 12-month volatility was 16.6% versus 17.1% for VXUS, and its worst drawdown was -14.0% versus -13.6%. The funds’ daily moves were highly correlated at 0.988, so AVNM’s stronger result reflects modest but persistent outperformance rather than substantially different market exposure. AVNM beat VXUS in 22 of the last 40 months, with a typical monthly gap of 0.42 points.
