hi- I've done the entire boot camp and love the AVUS as the better option to VTI. Do you suggest a similar fund for international stocks (and emerging markets)? I.E. a little bit more concentration on value and small? Seems like a sensible tweak to the typical three fund portfolio- combining simplicity and a bit more diversification.
Howcome chris doesn't recommend DFAC? it seems to be tilted more towards smaller companies than AVUS, is i the slightly higher expense ratio? Also, I can invest in DFSV or DFSVX for 0 cost difference. Which would you suggest? Or are they exactly the same? Also, also, why does Avantis and DFA leave out REITs in their total us market funds?
Recommendations to add AVUV to AVUS seems like over tilting to value. May be too difficult to stick with. Best chart is probably one presented by Chris showing SWR with different assets combinations. Sweet spot for scv around 30% of stocks.
