AVEE

AVEE provides diversified exposure to small-cap companies, spanning multiple sectors and industries, that are located in emerging markets. The fund seeks higher returns through an enhanced emphasis on smaller companies with higher profitability and value characteristics. Eligible securities are assessed based on fundamental screens including shares outstanding, book value, cash flows from operations, and accruals. Additional factors in the selection process include industry classification, past performance, liquidity, float, tax, and governance or cost considerations. Final constituents are then weighted based on market-cap, allowing for potential overweighting or underweighting based on the defined selection parameters. The fund pursues the benefits of indexing, diversification, low turnover, and tax efficiency, combined with active investment decisions based on current price information.
