Eduardo Repetto – Avantis Investors, an American Century Investments Company

Eduardo Repetto is the Chief Investment Officer of Avantis Investors, an investment manager that seeks to deliver research-based, low fee, diversified portfolios to clients.  Prior to joining American Century to run Avantis, Eduardo was the Co-CEO and CIO of Dimensional Fund Advisors, where he rose through the ranks over seventeen years at the firm.

Our conversation covers Eduardo’s transition from academia to finance, lessons from DFA, and the founding of Avantis.  We turn to Avantis’ low fee, systematic approach to identify securities with high expected returns, including screening companies for asset value and cash flow, considering intangible assets and momentum, conducting research, constructing portfolios, and taking advantage of managing a smaller asset base.
