Our read on USVM
BTwo screens that rarely ride together, cheap and climbing, pointed at the small and mid-cap end of the US market. Roughly 300 stocks, rules-based, and priced under the typical multifactor fund.
The Fund seeks to track the returns of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum Index before fees and expenses, primarily by holding the Index's stocks through a replication strategy.
Why people hold it
- Screens on value and momentum together instead of picking one lane, tracking a single Nasdaq-built index by replication rather than a manager's hunches.
- Costs 0.29% a year, below the median for its multifactor peer group.
- Works the small and mid-cap aisle while most highly graded funds in the cohort (VONV, VYM, FNDX, GVUS, IUSG) crowd into large caps.
- Spreads the bet across about 300 names and pays distributions monthly.
Worth knowing
- Trades thinly for a fund of its size, so spreads can be wider than the multi-billion-dollar asset base suggests.
- Small and mid caps swing harder than large caps, and a value-plus-momentum tilt can wander well away from the broad market for long stretches.
- Cheap for a factor strategy, but plain-vanilla peers like VYM (0.04%) and IUSG (0.04%) cost a fraction as much.
