MEMEDRoundhill Meme Stock ETF

QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

In short

MEME Most momentum funds rank stocks on past price strength. MEME ranks on options-implied volatility, holding roughly 25 of the most heavily traded, most feverishly priced US names. The retail crowd trade, packaged as a plain equity fund.

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

MEME The Fund is an actively managed ETF seeking exposure to meme stocks. It screens highly traded U.S.-listed stocks and ADRs and selects the 25 with the highest implied volatility.

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

  • MEME A genuinely different screen from the rest of the momentum shelf: it sorts heavily traded US stocks and ADRs by implied volatility, not by trailing price gains.
  • Concentrated on purpose. Around 25 names means the meme trade actually shows up in the portfolio instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.
  • The fee (0.69%) sits right at the median for its actively managed momentum cohort, so the novelty does not come with a novelty markup.
  • Simple plumbing: a registered 1940 Act fund holding US stocks outright, listed on NYSE Arca, not a leveraged or derivatives-based trading vehicle.prnewswire.com
  • 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

  • MEME Screening for the highest implied volatility means deliberately owning the market's jumpiest stocks. Big swings are the design, not a malfunction.
  • You pay 0.69% for the concept. Broad momentum funds (MTUM, SPMO, VFMO) run at a fraction of that, in the 0.12% to 0.15% range.
  • Launched in October 2025, so there is little live history to judge, and it lands in the lower half of its momentum peer group on our review.prnewswire.com
  • 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.
