Our read on FMTM
AMomentum with a hand on the wheel: an actively managed, rules-based screen that hunts U.S. stocks showing strong relative momentum, with a quality check bolted on. Launched in 2025 and priced under the typical active momentum fund.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is actively managed and uses a proprietary, quantitative, rules-based process to select U.S. equities demonstrating strong relative momentum.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.45% a year, comfortably below the median fund in its U.S. momentum peer group.
- Raw momentum can chase junk. The prospectus process pairs the momentum screen with a quality factor, so what's rising also has to hold up on the books.
- Moderately traded, with one of the smoother trading profiles among systematic U.S. momentum funds. Getting in and out is rarely the friction point.
- Sits in the top quartile of the systematic U.S. momentum funds ETF.net tracks, a cohort stacked with giant index-based rivals.
Worth knowing
- Launched in 2025, so the model has yet to be tested across a full market cycle and its risk picture rests on a short record.
- The index-based heavyweights (JMOM, VFMO, SPMO, MTUM) charge 0.12% to 0.15%. Active security selection here carries a higher sticker.
- Momentum strategies crowd into whatever is already winning, so the ride tends to be choppier than a broad U.S. market fund when leadership rotates.
