Our read on PAMC
FMost multi-factor funds blend momentum, quality, value and low volatility into one smoothie. This one alternates instead, rotating among those factors inside the S&P MidCap 400. Factor timing, not factor averaging.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by rotating among momentum, quality, value and volatility factors within S&P MidCap 400 companies.
Why people hold it
- The alternator twist: rather than averaging four factors together, it rotates among momentum, quality, value and low volatility. One flavor at a time, by design.
- It hunts in mid-caps. The pond is S&P MidCap 400 companies, roughly 150 names held, while most multi-factor rivals crowd into large-cap value and growth.
- Rules run it, not a hunch. It follows the Lunt Capital U.S. MidCap Multi-Factor Rotation Index, has been live since 2020, and distributes quarterly.
Worth knowing
- The rotation costs 0.60% a year, close to double the typical multi-factor fund and ten times a plain-vanilla peer such as VONV at 0.06%.
- Rotation cuts both ways. When factor leadership flips fast, the switch can land late, and holding one factor means sitting out whichever one is running.
- Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than on the household names of the factor aisle.
