ABOUT THIS FUND
The Alpha Architect Global Factor Equity ETF (AAVM) operates as a fund-of-funds, striving for sustained long-term capital growth by employing a diversified multi-factor investment strategy. It allocates capital across four distinct Alpha Architect exchange-traded funds, each concentrated on specific market segments: value equities in the U.S., value equities in developed ex-U.S. markets, U.S. momentum stocks, and momentum stocks in developed international markets. These underlying funds are managed through a meticulous, multi-step quantitative methodology, identifying equities that exhibit the strongest relative momentum for the momentum ETFs and those with considerable potential for capital appreciation for the value ETFs. AAVM's adviser employs a proprietary model to distribute assets among these four component ETFs, weighting more heavily the fund that shows superior relative momentum. While portfolio rebalancing typically occurs on a quarterly basis, the adviser reserves the right to make more frequent adjustments. Historically, before January 31, 2022, AAVM tracked the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend Index. Furthermore, prior to January 31, 2025, the fund was known as the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF and traded under the ticker VMOT.
