The milestone comes six months after crossing $100 billion in December 2025 and just more than six and a half years after the launch of Avantis' first strategy in September 2019. "Each dollar we manage represents the trust that advisors, institutions and consultants have placed with us. We remain focused on listening to our clients and responding with solutions that help them achieve their goals," said Eduardo Repetto, chief investment officer of Avantis Investors. "From day one, our objective has been to provide great investment strategies and service at an attractive fee. That commitment continues to guide everything we do at Avantis." **An approach powered by financial science** The Avantis investment process is based on an academically supported, market-tested framework that aims to identify securities with higher expected returns based on their current market prices and other company financial information. Its strategies share a common investment approach that combines a philosophy grounded in financial science with expert implementation aimed at increasing expected returns and managing risks. Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (AVUV) and Avantis Emerging Markets Equity ETF (AVEM), two of the first active ETFs launched by Avantis, are now the firm's largest strategies. Both AVUV and AVEM have surpassed $25 billion in assets. "It's both exciting and humbling," said Phil McInnis, chief investment strategist at Avantis. **"**It's a privilege to have so many wonderful clients and be able to serve so many investors. These are fun milestones to celebrate, but we are also big believers in staying focused on our process and trying to get a little bit better every day. So we will keep doing that." **Continuing to expand globally** Avantis' growth continues to be supported by expansion into new markets and strategic relationships. In November 2025, CIBC Asset Management Inc. and Avantis announced a strategic alliance to launch eight Avantis CIBC ETFs, bringing Avantis strategies to the Canadian market. In Europe, Avantis expanded its footprint in February 2026 by doubling its UCITS ETF lineup with the launch of three UCITS ETFs. The additions build on Avantis more than 40 investment strategies across the United States, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Austria, Ireland and the United Kingdom. **Bringing academics and financial advisors together** The Behavioral Divide, an Avantis Investors' podcast, is designed to help financial advisors help their clients. Hosted by Professor Hal Hershfield, each episode brings together behavioral decision-making research and practicing advisors to share evidence-based approaches for better conversations and more effective investing behavior. "We developed this podcast to bring academics and advisors together," said McInnis. "Each month, advisors can tune in for insightful conversations about common financial topics from the perspective of behavioral research and real-world advice. We believe it is important to facilitate these conversations and continue to receive positive feedback from listeners about ways they are implementing what they have learned." The May 2026 episode of the Behavioral Divide podcast, "Beyond the Math Pt 2: The 'Fascinating History' & Psychology of Mortgages" is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
