ETF.net Research

GLRYCInspire Growth ETF

VFMOAVanguard 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.

VFMO Vanguard doing active. A quant team buys the strongest recent performers across the entire US market, roughly 600 names deep, at 0.13% a year for a job that usually costs several times more.

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.

VFMO The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in U.S. stocks with strong recent performance selected through the advisor’s quantitative process.

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
  • VFMO Costs 0.13% a year, sitting with the cheapest systematic momentum funds (JMOM 0.12%, SPMO 0.13%, MTUM 0.15%) and well under the group's typical fee.
  • Hunts winners across the full Russell 3000, small and mid caps included, and spreads the bet over about 600 stocks rather than a short list of mega caps.vanguard.com
  • Actively run through Vanguard's quantitative process: the Russell 3000 is the yardstick, not a rulebook the fund has to copy on index-review day.vanguard.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund paying quarterly, and one of the stronger implementations in the US momentum group on cost and portfolio construction.

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
  • VFMO Momentum by design owns what has already run. When market leadership flips, this style tends to take the turn harder than a plain total-market fund.
  • No index to hide behind. Results ride on Vanguard's model, and the portfolio can look very different from the Russell 3000 in either direction.
  • Trading activity is moderate rather than category-leading, which shows up in spreads on large orders more than small ones.
