Summary

Avantis International Small Cap Value Fund goes beyond investing in smaller cheaper stocks. It holds shares in a diverse collection of smaller companies trading at low multiples relative to their profits. Incorporating profitability into the selection process should limit exposure to value traps and improve performance over the long run.
