VEA vs AVDE: Which One Offers Better International Exposure?

Right.

Um, international is definitely one of the areas where you could maybe see some value add from active.

And like Mike was saying, this is not super concentrated.

So, you're still getting about 3,000 holdings in both of these ETFs.

So, they're both very, very broad.

You have a value tilt.

You get a little bit size tilt like Mike mentioned in the Advantis one.

Your top weights are going to be country weights are going to be about the same.

It's Japan, it's the UK, it's Canada.

The only difference is you're getting Korea in the Vanguard Fund. you're not getting that in advantage.

It might not matter that much.

It's only a 3% weight, but just something to keep in mind about sort of country definitions.

Um, uh, you you do get a little bit of differences in some of the sector bets because of the tilts, right?

So, you tend to end up being more overweight banks with Avantis and Pharma, which that stuff is actually worked out well right now.

But uh so you do have a little bit of a factor bias, a little bit of a sector bias, but overall it seems like for that little tracking error gap that Mike had mentioned, they're they're getting a lot of uh juice out of that.

So I like that and I think I think it's an area that I like active management.

So again, very close, both very wellrun.

You're getting a lot of the similar country exposures, but I think you give going to give the edge here to the Avantis uh product.
