Avantis Investors® Launches International Core Equity ETF

09/30/2026
Kansas City, Mo.

Avantis Investors®, an investment offering from global asset manager American Century Investments®, expands its exchange-traded fund (ETF) platform with the launch of Avantis® All International Core Equity ETF (AVNC), now available on the NYSE Arca. An additional core equity strategy, Avantis® U.S. Core Equity ETF (AVUC), is expected to list on the NYSE in the coming weeks.* Avantis, as part of American Century®, is a top five issuer in assets under management (AUM) of active ETFs in the United States.1

“When developing new solutions, our process always begins with our clients,” said Senior Portfolio Manager Matthew Dubin. “We align what we can deliver to add value with the needs of clients, which continue to evolve. We find by addressing their challenges, we’re often helping solve the same problem for many others. Investors have grown to know and trust not only our investment philosophy, but our client-centric approach.”

AVNC invests primarily in a diverse group of non-U.S. developed and emerging market companies across countries, market sectors and industry groups; and may invest in companies of all market capitalizations. The fund seeks to provide diversified exposure to non-U.S. markets. AVNC has a gross expense ratio of 0.28%. AVUC will invest primarily in a diverse group of U.S. companies across market sectors and industry groups; and may invest in companies of all market capitalizations. No fees have been set for AVUC. AVNC and AVUC will both target securities expected to offer higher expected returns2, consistent with all Avantis equity strategies.

The funds are co-managed by Dubin, Chief Investment Officer Eduardo Repetto, Senior Portfolio Managers Mitchell Firestein and Daniel Ong, CFA, and Portfolio Manager Elliott Carson.

AVNC and AVUC join Avantis' global lineup of more than 40 investment strategies available through products offered in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe. In Europe, products are listed in Frankfurt, London and Zurich.

Avantis was established in 2019 to help clients achieve their investment goals through a persistent focus on providing well-diversified investment solutions that fit seamlessly into asset allocations and combine the potential for outperformance with the consistency of indexing. Earlier this year, Avantis surpassed $150 billion in AUM,** a milestone that came just six months after crossing $100 billion in December 2025.

Avantis is part of American Century, an asset manager with a reputation for client care, stewardship and stability. Through American Century’s relationship with the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, investments with Avantis help support research that can improve human health and save lives.

Expected Returns: Valuation theory shows that the expected return of a stock is a function of its current price, its book equity (assets minus liabilities) and expected future profits, and that the expected return of a bond is a function of its current yield and its expected capital appreciation (depreciation). We use information in current market prices and company financials to identify differences in expected returns among securities, seeking to overweight securities with higher expected returns based on this current market information. Actual returns may be different than expected returns, and there is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful.

Assets under management as of 06/26/26.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are bought and sold through exchange trading at market price (not NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

You should consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The fund's prospectus or summary prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting americancentury.com, contains this and other information about the fund, and should be read carefully before investing. Investments are subject to market risk.

These funds are actively managed ETFs that do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. To determine whether to buy or sell a security, the portfolio managers consider, among other things, various fund requirements and standards, along with economic conditions, alternative investments, interest rates and various credit metrics. If the portfolio manager considerations are inaccurate or misapplied, the fund's performance may suffer.

Historically, small- and/or mid-cap stocks have been more volatile than the stock of larger, more-established companies. Smaller companies may have limited resources, product lines and markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than the securities of larger companies.

International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.

Investment return and principal value of security investments will fluctuate. The value at the time of redemption may be more or less than the original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Diversification does not assure a profit nor does it protect against loss of principal.
