Our read on JOET
CA CNBC regular's playbook in ETF form. Joe Terranova's index screens large U.S. companies for quality fundamentals and positive price momentum, then equal-weights the roughly 200 survivors so no mega-cap runs the show.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Terranova U.S. Quality Momentum Index.
Why people hold it
- Two screens, not one: names must clear quality fundamentals and show positive momentum, and the index is rebuilt quarterly so the momentum reading stays current.virtus.comvirtus.com
- Equal weighting spreads roughly 200 positions evenly, so the portfolio never leans on a few trillion-dollar names the way cap-weighted large-cap funds do.virtus.com
- At 0.29% a year, the fee sits within a hair of the typical U.S. factor ETF, so the rules-based twist isn't priced as a boutique product.
- No black box: Terranova built the methodology from his own 30-plus years on Wall Street, Indxx calculates the index, and the rules are published.virtus.com
Worth knowing
- A modestly sized fund that trades lightly next to headline factor ETFs, so spreads can be wider and limit orders are the usual way to handle that.
- Single-factor peers cost less (SIZE at 0.15%, MGV at 0.05%), though neither stacks a momentum screen on top of quality.
- Quarterly refreshes mean the lineup turns over as market leadership rotates, and the ride has been bumpier than the typical U.S. factor ETF.virtus.com
