Our read on TMFX
CThe Motley Fool's recommendation list, minus the household names. TMFX tracks a rules-based index of mid- and small-cap US companies its analysts have flagged, deliberately leaving out the 100 largest.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Motley Fool Next Index.
Why people hold it
- The entry rule is unusually legible: mid- and small-cap US companies recommended by Motley Fool's analysts and newsletters, with the biggest 100 stripped out.stockanalysis.comaaii.com
- It fishes below the mega-cap waterline where most index money already sits, which makes it a different exposure from a standard US core fund rather than a repeat of one.fooletfs.comstockanalysis.com
- Rules run the portfolio, not a stock picker's mood: passive, market-cap weighted, tracking the Motley Fool Next Index before fees and expenses.stockanalysis.com
- Live since 2021, so the strategy has traded through a full cycle of rate shocks and growth swings instead of existing only on a backtest.
Worth knowing
- At 0.50% a year, it costs meaningfully more than plain-vanilla broad index trackers. The proprietary index is what you're paying the extra for.
- Small fund, thin tape. Spreads can widen, so limit orders do more work here than with a heavily traded index ETF.
- Smaller, growth-leaning companies move harder in both directions than large-cap core, and payouts are occasional rather than a steady income stream.fooletfs.com
