Our read on STRN
CA retirement advisor's momentum model, boxed into an ETF: 25 U.S. large caps ranked on the prior four quarters of price trend, benchmarked against the S&P 500. Concentrated by design, not by accident.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- The process is legible: narrow the universe to a top half, keep the top quarter on trailing four-quarter price momentum and trend, then hold 25 U.S.-listed large caps.sec.gov
- At 0.59% a year it runs below the typical active U.S. equity fund (0.65% median) despite a hands-on, quant-ranked portfolio.
- Packages large-cap models the firm built for advisory clients into an exchange-listed wrapper, opened to smaller accounts.natlawreview.com
Worth knowing
- Non-diversified with about 25 names, so a single top holding swings the fund far more than it would inside a broad index.sec.gov
- Ranking on recent price trend means it leans into what has already been working and swaps names as market leadership rotates. Turnover comes with the design.sec.gov
- A 2025 launch with a small asset base and thin trading: spreads can widen, and the live record is still short.
