Avantis ETF holds 40 SGX stocks delivering up to 8% YTD returns

The stocks maintained a combined market capitalisation of $50b.

The Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF, managed by Avantis Investors under American Century, holds more than 1,700 developed ex-US stocks, including around 40 Singapore-listed companies, according to SGX Group.

The 40 stocks recorded an average total return of 8% year-to-date (YTD), or 6% when weighted based on the ETF’s holdings.

The stocks maintained a combined market capitalisation of $50b, whilst averaging $123min average daily turnover (ADT).

The cohort also posted net institutional inflows of $36.1m over the same period, with materials and industrials leading inflows.

SGX said close to three-quarters of the stocks showed narrower bid-offer spreads compared to a year earlier.

Meanwhile, Global Resource Construction saw its ADT rise to $3.1m YTD from $1.3m in 2025, contributing to a tighter average bid-offer spread of 116 basis points over the past five sessions.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
