The fund is a "fund of funds," meaning that it seeks to achieve its objective by investing in other Avantis ETFs (collectively, the underlying funds). The underlying funds represent a broadly diversified basket of equity and fixed income securities that seek to select or overweight securities that are expected to have higher returns or better risk characteristics than a passive, market-cap weighted index. The managers will allocate to the underlying funds across geographies and investment styles to achieve the desired allocation.
