After reviewing the Seeking Alpha article forwarded by the reader about the Avantis US Equity fund, I go and read the article.
Man its a hard read. It is a hard read not because of the AVUS underperformance but the way the person structure the stuff.
There is a benchmark the fund manager used in the description. it is perfectly reasonable benchmark but he chose not to use it.
And then it goes on to compare against a whole bunch of other growth, factor rotation ETFs and state that the fund has to do more to show the factors.
It somehow feels like when your mother keeps comparing you for something that you do, when she kind of miss some important info.
