Our read on TMFE
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%.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the proprietary Capital Efficiency 100 Index.
Why people hold it
- The 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
- A 4.8% cap per holding at rebalance keeps one hot name from quietly becoming the whole fund.learnmore.fooletfs.com
- The 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
- At 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.
- The 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
- A smaller fund that trades lightly, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than on mega-cap index ETFs.
