Our read on TMFE

ETF.net Research

CStock-picking research in an index wrapper. TMFE screens The Motley Fool's own recommendation universe down to the 100 most capital-efficient companies, then caps each position at 4.8%.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the proprietary Capital Efficiency 100 Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The universe is the twist: eligibility starts with US companies Motley Fool analysts have recommended or rated highly, and a capital-efficiency score picks the 100 that make the cut.etfs.fooletfs.comlearnmore.fooletfs.com
  2. 02A 4.8% cap per holding at rebalance keeps one hot name from quietly becoming the whole fund.learnmore.fooletfs.com
  3. 03The screen is spelled out in the prospectus: growth and profitability via a named Capital Efficiency Factor Score, run passively against a published US equity index.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.50% a year it costs more than the typical multifactor peer, and plain index rivals like IUSG and VONV charge a small fraction of that.
  2. 02The benchmark is proprietary to The Motley Fool, not an independent index house, and it has only been live since the fund's 2021 launch.money.usnews.com
  3. 03A smaller fund that trades lightly, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than on mega-cap index ETFs.
