Solutions designed for better outcomes
Avantis solutions are designed to combine many of the same benefits as index investing with the potential for added value by considering expected returns* each day. It’s the parts of passive that make sense with the parts of active that can make a difference.
Modernized value investing
Value investing is not about finding cheap companies, as many traditional value approaches do. It’s about getting the most you can for the price you pay, which means targeting high quality companies with strong profitability at good prices. That’s what matters for finding higher expected returns. That’s modern value investing.
Built on a solid foundation with a greater purpose
Avantis Investors is backed by American Century Investments (ACI)—a $200+ billion asset** manager that has served investors for more than 60 years. Under a unique ownership structure, over 40% of profits are paid to ACI’s owner, the Stowers Institute of Medical Research. They are dedicated to uncovering the causes, treatments and cures of life threatening diseases.

*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.
