Our read on TMFM

ETF.net Research

In short

DThe Motley Fool's own fund shop, stock-picking US mid caps for quality and growth. It ran as a mutual fund from 2014 and converted into an ETF in 2021, so the strategy is older than the ticker.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of U.S. mid-cap companies, using a quality-growth approach.

Why people hold it

  • Genuinely active, not an index tracker: managers pick US mid-cap companies on quality and growth, with the Russell Midcap Growth index as the yardstick.
  • The strategy has a paper trail: it launched in 2014 as the MFAM Mid-Cap Growth mutual fund and converted into this ETF in December 2021.etfgi.com
  • Its peer group is crowded with enhanced large-cap funds (JUSA, FELG). This one stays in the middle of the market-cap range, where fewer active ETFs bother to fish.
  • The portfolio is the sturdiest part of the package: a coherent book of US quality-growth names rather than a grab bag.

Worth knowing

  • Fees are the headline trade-off. At 0.85% a year it runs above the typical fund in its peer group, and many times the cheapest enhanced-index names (JUSA at 0.12%).
  • It trades thinly for a US equity ETF, so spreads can be wider and sizable orders can nudge the price. Limit orders matter more here than with a mega-cap index fund.
  • On our overall read it sits in the lower tier of its peer group, with cost and trading friction doing most of the damage rather than the holdings.
