- American Century ETF Trust - Avantis Emerging Markets ex-China Equity ETF (AVXC) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies tied to emerging market countries, excluding those domiciled in China; it emphasizes securities with higher expected returns based on smaller market capitalizations, higher profitability, and value characteristics across market sectors, industry groups, and countries in regions such as Taiwan, India, South Korea, Brazil, and South Africa. The fund, with an expense ratio of 0.33%, holds a diversified portfolio of approximately 2,600 securities, including top holdings like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Samsung Electronics Co., and SK Hynix Inc.; it targets financial professionals, institutions, corporations, and individual investors seeking exposure to emerging markets without China risk. Launched on March 19, 2024, and listed on Nasdaq, AVXC operates under American Century ETF Trust, issued and managed by American Century Investments, a global asset manager founded in 1958 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, with additional offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, and Sydney. In a recent development, the ETF has grown its assets under management to over $170 million as of late 2025, reflecting strong investor adoption since its debut as Avantis Investors' 28th active ETF offering from American Century; this expansion complements Avantis' lineup of low-cost, factor-based strategies spanning equities, fixed income, and real estate, with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, or major reorganizations specific to AVXC in the past two years.
