AVUV

AVUV reports 798 positions, but the weights make it behave like about 272.6 equally weighted ones. Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing — see what this measure does not tell you and the full table.

The same filing says what kind of price those positions carry: 100% of AVUV is held at a quoted market price, across 15 issuer countries . Comparisons across every fund are in the valuation table, and what a low share does and does not mean is worth reading before drawing a conclusion from it.

Between 2019-11-30 and 2026-05-31, AVUV went from behaving like 248.4 equally weighted positions to 272.6 — 10% more, while its top ten went from 8.8% to 8.67% of net assets. Read across the funds on the concentration-over-time table.

One row per filed reporting period, newest first, read from EDGAR. Quarterly because that is the public filing cadence. Rows marked * are published but held out of the comparison above; the methodology page says when and why.
