QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

In short

DFTT Most momentum funds smear the factor across hundreds of stocks. DFTT goes the other way: a formulaic index ranks the 100 largest U.S. companies on price momentum and keeps just 30. Concentrated, rules-driven, and brand new (it launched in November 2025).

QMOM Momentum, undiluted. Where most factor funds spread the bet across hundreds of names, QMOM concentrates on roughly 50 of the strongest-trending U.S. stocks, with a quality screen layered on top.

Stated mandate

DFTT The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by tracking a formulaic index that allocates to 30 of the largest 100 U.S. stocks using price momentum.

QMOM QMOM seeks long-term capital appreciation by maintaining consistent exposure to the strongest-momentum stocks in the U.S. market.

Why people hold it

  • DFTT Concentration by design: the index ranks the 100 largest U.S. stocks on price momentum and holds 30 of them, so the leaders carry real weight instead of being diluted.
  • The process is written down. A published benchmark, the DF Risk-Managed Tactical 30 Index, does the selecting, so the portfolio doesn't hinge on a manager's gut call.
  • Large-cap universe only: momentum is applied inside the 100 biggest U.S. companies, so the names are familiar blue chips rather than small-cap flyers.
  • QMOM At 0.28% a year, it costs well under the typical fee in its systematic momentum peer group.
  • About 50 holdings, not hundreds: a concentrated take on U.S. momentum, with a quality screen applied alongside the trend ranking.alphaarchitect.com
  • Live since 2015, so the strategy has a decade-plus public record, and it ranks in the upper half of its momentum cohort.

Worth knowing

  • DFTT At 0.70% the fee sits near the middle of the active momentum crowd, while index rivals SPMO, MTUM and VFMO run 0.12% to 0.15%. The tactical rules carry a price tag.
  • It launched in November 2025, so the public record is short and the fund is still small and lightly traded, which usually means wider bid/ask spreads than category giants.
  • Thirty names means each one matters: a single stock's move lands harder here than in a momentum index spread across hundreds of holdings.
  • QMOM Concentration cuts both ways. With about 50 names, results can swing well away from the broad market and from diversified momentum funds.
  • It trades thinly next to giants like MTUM and SPMO, so spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  • Cheap for a quant-run fund, but broad index momentum peers such as JMOM (0.12%) and VFMO (0.13%) are cheaper still.
