Our read on DFTT
CMost momentum funds smear the factor across hundreds of stocks. DFTT goes the other way: a formulaic index ranks the 100 largest U.S. companies on price momentum and keeps just 30. Concentrated, rules-driven, and brand new (it launched in November 2025).
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by tracking a formulaic index that allocates to 30 of the largest 100 U.S. stocks using price momentum.
Why people hold it
- Concentration by design: the index ranks the 100 largest U.S. stocks on price momentum and holds 30 of them, so the leaders carry real weight instead of being diluted.
- The process is written down. A published benchmark, the DF Risk-Managed Tactical 30 Index, does the selecting, so the portfolio doesn't hinge on a manager's gut call.
- Large-cap universe only: momentum is applied inside the 100 biggest U.S. companies, so the names are familiar blue chips rather than small-cap flyers.
Worth knowing
- At 0.70% the fee sits near the middle of the active momentum crowd, while index rivals SPMO, MTUM and VFMO run 0.12% to 0.15%. The tactical rules carry a price tag.
- It launched in November 2025, so the public record is short and the fund is still small and lightly traded, which usually means wider bid/ask spreads than category giants.
- Thirty names means each one matters: a single stock's move lands harder here than in a momentum index spread across hundreds of holdings.
