Avantis Investors is an investment management firm based in Los Angeles, California. It uses a research-driven, academic-based framework that analyzes current prices to pursue higher expected returns for clients. The approach rests on the principle that paying less for an expected stream of cash flows or for a company's equity tends to produce higher future returns. It offers diversified investment strategies to clients, managed through a disciplined, cost-conscious process. In the investment management industry, Avantis emphasizes applying academic insights to pricing and portfolio construction. A notable recent development is the January 2026 appointment of Joseph Chi as Senior Portfolio Manager, a former co-head of portfolio management and Investment Committee Chairman at Dimensional Fund Advisors.
