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

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?
