Our read on SAMM
CMomentum with a macro brain. Strategas, an institutional macro and technical research shop, picks 20 to 50 U.S. listed leaders here and can shift into Treasury ETFs, gold ETPs, or cash when its own signals call for defense.
The fund applies a macro momentum strategy. Its macro analysis considers economy-wide, policy, socioeconomic, and global developments, while momentum examines intermediate-term absolute and relative price trends.
Why people hold it
- Index momentum funds stay in stocks through everything. SAMM's mandate lets it hold cash, Treasury ETFs, or gold ETPs when a defensive posture is warranted.strategasetfs.com
- A concentrated book: 20 to 50 U.S. listed securities picked for technical, momentum, and relative strength traits, sourced up and down the cap scale and across sectors.strategasetfs.combusinesswire.com
- Momentum here is judged against a macro backdrop: policy, economy-wide and global developments alongside intermediate-term absolute and relative price trends.
- The 0.66% fee runs a touch under the median for its actively managed momentum peer group.
Worth knowing
- Costs more than rules-based momentum ETFs such as SPMO (0.13%) and MTUM (0.15%), the trade-off for a human macro overlay instead of a screen.
- A small, lightly traded fund launched in 2024, so the record is short and spreads can be wider than at the big index momentum names.
- Outcomes ride on the team's macro and technical calls plus a concentrated book that can lean hard into individual sectors.strategasetfs.com
