Our read on MTUM
In short
BThe 2013 original that turned momentum into a mainstream factor bet. MTUM ranks large- and mid-cap US stocks by their 6- and 12-month gains divided by their volatility, so steady climbers outrank wild ones, then rebuilds a roughly 130-stock lineup on a set schedule.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization stocks with relatively high price momentum. Its strategy uses an index designed to emphasize stocks with stronger momentum characteristics than the MSCI USA parent index.
