MFMOCMotley Fool Momentum Factor ETF

QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

In short

MFMO Momentum run through The Motley Fool's own index instead of one rented from MSCI or S&P. A house-built Momentum Factor Score picks the names, and the fee lands under the typical fund in this corner, above the giants.

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

MFMO The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total-return performance of the Motley Fool Momentum Index.

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

  • MFMO 0.50% a year undercuts the typical momentum fund in its peer group, where the median sits at 0.69%.
  • One job, stated plainly: track the Motley Fool Momentum Index, a rules-based screen built on the firm's own Momentum Factor Score.
  • Single-factor by design. Momentum is the entire thesis, so it slots beside a broad holding without muddying what you already own.
  • 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

  • MFMO Cheap for its cohort, not cheap outright. SPMO, VFMO and MTUM run momentum for a fraction of this fee.
  • A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the household-name momentum ETFs.
  • Launched in 2025, so the track record is short, and momentum strategies tend to lurch when market leadership rotates.
  • 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.
