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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
