Our read on IMTM

ETF.net Research

In short

BMomentum investing usually stops at the US border. IMTM runs the same idea across developed markets outside America, holding roughly 300 stocks picked for strong price momentum and reshuffling as leadership changes hands.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to follow an index of developed-market international equities selected for relatively strong price momentum.

Why people hold it

  • Charges 0.30%, half the typical fee among international active-equity funds, and undercuts factor peers like AVDS while sitting near AVDE and DFIC.
  • A rare pure-momentum sleeve for developed markets outside the US, where most factor money never leaves home.
  • Live since 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund, so it has a decade of track record and real trading depth behind it.
  • Ranks in the top quartile of its international equity peer group on our review, one of the stronger implementations in the category.

Worth knowing

  • Momentum chases what is already working, so the portfolio can tilt hard toward whichever countries and sectors are hot and swing more than a broad index.
  • Roughly 300 developed-market names means no emerging markets and a narrower bench than a total international fund.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly, and it trades moderately rather than at mega-fund volumes.
