Our read on MEME
DMost momentum funds rank stocks on past price strength. MEME ranks on options-implied volatility, holding roughly 25 of the most heavily traded, most feverishly priced US names. The retail crowd trade, packaged as a plain equity fund.
The Fund is an actively managed ETF seeking exposure to meme stocks. It screens highly traded U.S.-listed stocks and ADRs and selects the 25 with the highest implied volatility.
Why people hold it
- A genuinely different screen from the rest of the momentum shelf: it sorts heavily traded US stocks and ADRs by implied volatility, not by trailing price gains.
- Concentrated on purpose. Around 25 names means the meme trade actually shows up in the portfolio instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.
- The fee (0.69%) sits right at the median for its actively managed momentum cohort, so the novelty does not come with a novelty markup.
- Simple plumbing: a registered 1940 Act fund holding US stocks outright, listed on NYSE Arca, not a leveraged or derivatives-based trading vehicle.prnewswire.com
Worth knowing
- Screening for the highest implied volatility means deliberately owning the market's jumpiest stocks. Big swings are the design, not a malfunction.
- You pay 0.69% for the concept. Broad momentum funds (MTUM, SPMO, VFMO) run at a fraction of that, in the 0.12% to 0.15% range.
- Launched in October 2025, so there is little live history to judge, and it lands in the lower half of its momentum peer group on our review.prnewswire.com
