JMOMAJPMorgan U.S. Momentum Factor ETF

QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

In short

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.

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

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

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

  • 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.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • 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.
