FVCDFirst Trust Dorsey Wright Dynamic Focus 5 ETF

SEIMASEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Momentum Active ETF

In short

FVC Momentum applied to sectors, not stocks. FVC ranks First Trust sector and industry funds by Dorsey Wright relative strength, holds the five strongest, and can rotate into a short-duration bond fund when the signal turns defensive.

SEIM Momentum with a chaperone. SEI's quant model buys U.S. large caps that have been running, then leans on quality, value and low volatility to sand off the edges, all for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

FVC The fund seeks to track the price and yield of the Dorsey Wright Dynamic Focus Five Index before fees. That index dynamically selects five First Trust sector or industry ETFs using relative strength and can shift exposure to FTSM for risk management.

SEIM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks with relatively strong recent performance, using quantitative active stock selection and portfolio optimization.

Why people hold it

  • FVC Built-in defensive gear: the index can shift exposure into a short-duration bond ETF for risk management, a rules-based off-ramp most momentum funds don't have.
  • The bet is which corner of the market is leading, not which stock. Five First Trust sector or industry ETFs, picked by Dorsey Wright's relative strength method.
  • Running since 2016 in a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper, tracking a published index and paying distributions quarterly.
  • SEIM Charges 0.15% a year, a fraction of the typical fund in its active momentum peer group and level with the cheapest brand-name momentum ETFs like MTUM.
  • Not pure chase-the-winners: the prospectus model also weighs quality, value and low volatility, so recent strength gets vetted, not just ranked.
  • Roughly 70 names, concentrated enough for the factor to actually show up, run as an active quant mandate rather than a fixed index rebuild.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger implementations among the systematic U.S. momentum funds we cover.

Worth knowing

  • FVC At 0.87% a year, this sits above the typical momentum fund, and large peers like MTUM, SPMO and VFMO run at a fraction of it.
  • Five sleeves means concentration. One sector call can drive the whole ride, and the rotation only moves when the relative strength signal says so.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can widen. Limit orders and avoiding the opening and closing minutes matter more here.
  • SEIM Momentum buys what has already moved. When market leadership rotates, this style can turn over quickly and trail the broad market.
  • Launched in 2022, so the live record is short and hasn't spanned many market regimes.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded, so bid-ask spreads are worth a glance at the moment you trade.
