In short

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.

RANK No data

Stated mandate

QMOM QMOM seeks long-term capital appreciation by maintaining consistent exposure to the strongest-momentum stocks in the U.S. market.

RANK No data

Why people hold it

  • 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.

RANK No data

Worth knowing

  • 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.
