GTNDCGoaltender ETF

QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

In short

GTND Ritholtz Wealth's first ETF puts its in-house trend-following playbook into a ticker: a monthly read on US stock and tech price trends, and when a trend breaks, that sleeve shifts half to T-bills and half to low-volatility stocks.

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

GTND The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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

  • GTND Risk-off doesn't mean all cash. A defensive sleeve moves 50% to a short-term T-bill index and 50% to a US low-volatility index, so some equity exposure stays on.sec.gov
  • Two sleeves, judged separately: a broad US 500 index and a US technology 100 index. Tech can flip defensive while the broad market sleeve stays risk-on.etfarchitect.com
  • Built-in whipsaw guard: the sub-adviser may override a flip to risk-off when it stems from a small recent dip inside a general uptrend.etfarchitect.com
  • At 0.46%, it charges less than the typical fund in its US systematic-momentum peer group, unusual for an active strategy with a defensive switch.
  • 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

  • GTND The fund launched in 2026, so its live record is short. The strategy's history lives at the advisory firm, not in the ETF's own track record.
  • It trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can be wider than on the big momentum funds.
  • Plain index momentum in this peer group costs less (JMOM 0.12%, VFMO 0.13%). The extra fee here buys the trend signal and the defensive switch.
  • 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.
