Our read on QMOM

ETF.net Research

AMomentum, undiluted. Where most factor funds spread the bet across hundreds of names, QMOM concentrates on roughly 50 of the strongest-trending U.S. stocks, with a quality screen layered on top.

Stated mandate

QMOM seeks long-term capital appreciation by maintaining consistent exposure to the strongest-momentum stocks in the U.S. market.

Why people hold it

  1. 01At 0.28% a year, it costs well under the typical fee in its systematic momentum peer group.
  2. 02About 50 holdings, not hundreds: a concentrated take on U.S. momentum, with a quality screen applied alongside the trend ranking.funds.alphaarchitect.com
  3. 03Live since 2015, so the strategy has a decade-plus public record, and it ranks in the upper half of its momentum cohort.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Concentration cuts both ways. With about 50 names, results can swing well away from the broad market and from diversified momentum funds.
  2. 02It trades thinly next to giants like MTUM and SPMO, so spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  3. 03Cheap for a quant-run fund, but broad index momentum peers such as JMOM (0.12%) and VFMO (0.13%) are cheaper still.
