GLRY vs JMOM

GLRYCInspire Growth ETF

JMOMAJPMorgan U.S. Momentum Factor ETF

In short

GLRY A biblically screened take on momentum: an active, quantitative hunt for mid-cap U.S. stocks that clear Inspire's faith-based screen first. Costs 0.80% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027.

JMOM Momentum without the markup. JMOM screens US stocks for strong risk-adjusted momentum rather than raw price runs, and charges 0.12%, a fraction of what the typical fund in its category asks.

Stated mandate

GLRY The Fund seeks growth and to outperform the broader U.S. mid-cap stock market. It uses an active, quantitative screening process to select mid-cap companies with perceived near-term outperformance potential.

JMOM The fund seeks domestic equity exposure focused on companies with strong risk-adjusted momentum and potential return enhancement.

Why people hold it

• GLRY The faith screen comes first. Names must clear Inspire's rules-based Impact Score, then the quantitative work ranks what is left.inspireinvesting.com
• Mid-cap hunting ground in a peer group that leans large: the mandate targets mid-size U.S. companies, unlike large-cap momentum rivals such as SEIM.
• Concentrated and genuinely active: a few dozen names chosen stock by stock, live since 2020, from a shop built around biblically responsible investing.stockanalysis.com

• JMOM At 0.12%, the lowest fee among its momentum peers: it undercuts VFMO and SPMO (0.13%) and MTUM (0.15%), and sits far below the roughly 0.69% category median.
• The screen targets risk-adjusted momentum, not just the biggest price runs, so how bumpy a stock's climb was factors into whether it makes the cut.jpmorgan.com
• Holds roughly 300 US names, a wider net than momentum sleeves that concentrate in a few dozen winners, and it pays out quarterly.
• Live since 2017 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it rates as one of the stronger implementations in the systematic US momentum group.

Worth knowing

• GLRY At 0.80% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027 (0.87% gross), it sits above the category median and well above index momentum such as JMOM at 0.12%.
• A smaller fund that trades lightly, so spreads can run wider than in the giant factor ETFs and bigger orders take more care.
• No index to check it against. Inspire picks the names, and the screen excludes whole industries, so the portfolio can look little like the broad mid-cap market.inspireinvesting.com

• JMOM Momentum by construction leans into what has already been working, which means the portfolio can be caught on the wrong side when market leadership flips.
• The benchmark is J.P. Morgan's own US Momentum Factor Index, so methodology and rebalance rules sit with the issuer rather than an outside index provider.jpmorgan.com
• Only moderately traded next to the category's headline tickers, so spreads are worth a look before placing size.
