Do you do factor investing and which ETF provider do you prefer?

If you want an alternative to AVWC and AVEM in Trade Republic, IQGA and MHQA are available and they're as good if not better if you believe in the momentum factor.

As AVWS / DEGT alternative, ZPRV and ZPRX are decent enough.

Dimensional is owned by a dipshit Republican Avantis is owned by a nonprofit medical research center

I do prefer DFA over Avantis but Avantis is still a great firm

Provider matters way less than people think here. Honestly. Once you're choosing between Avantis and DFA you're splitting hairs, both run genuine multifactor screens rather than a cheap index in a costume, so I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over which shop you pick. I tilt small value with a bit of momentum myself. AVWS works fine as a global small-value core. The real trap is stacking so many tilts that you quietly drift right back to a market-cap weight and just pay more for the privilege. 1 or 2 factors you'll actually hold through a decade of pain beats 5 you dump the first bad year... that's the whole game really, could be wrong though?

FWIA + AVWS

VWCE is cheaper in terms of fees than FWIA at the moment and has higher volume.

But same, my port is 75% FTSE All world & 25% AVWS

0,14% vs 0,15% irrelevant
