Our read on MFMO
CMomentum run through The Motley Fool's own index instead of one rented from MSCI or S&P. A house-built Momentum Factor Score picks the names, and the fee lands under the typical fund in this corner, above the giants.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total-return performance of the Motley Fool Momentum Index.
Why people hold it
- 0.50% a year undercuts the typical momentum fund in its peer group, where the median sits at 0.69%.
- One job, stated plainly: track the Motley Fool Momentum Index, a rules-based screen built on the firm's own Momentum Factor Score.
- Single-factor by design. Momentum is the entire thesis, so it slots beside a broad holding without muddying what you already own.
Worth knowing
- Cheap for its cohort, not cheap outright. SPMO, VFMO and MTUM run momentum for a fraction of this fee.
- A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the household-name momentum ETFs.
- Launched in 2025, so the track record is short, and momentum strategies tend to lurch when market leadership rotates.
