AVSC
Avantis U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF
stock NYSE ETF

Hi I’m 22 and opening a Roth IRA account. I’ve come up with a portfolio and would love some second opinions. Here’s what I’m thinking:
45% VOO
15% AVUV
8% IVOO
26% VEA
6% VWO
I chose AVUV because I’ve learned about factor investing through work and done some research. It has a pretty good track record of beating the Russell 2000 though it’s only been around for about 5 years. From my research I’ve also seen that factors don’t seem to be as effective anymore with large and mid caps which makes sense to me since they are likely priced in due to so much research. However small caps have a lot of lower quality companies and less research so it makes sense screening with factors could capture some extra returns. I’ve also thought about doing AVSC but felt the more aggressive tilt of AVUV was a risk I’m comfortable with. Thanks for any input and feel free to let me know how wrong I am! I’m still young and know I have a lot to learn!!!!
