QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

RSMVDRelative Strength Managed Volatility Strategy ETF

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.

RSMV Momentum with a brake pedal. RSMV rides US large-cap growth leaders on relative strength, then can duck into cash, Treasuries, or investment-grade bonds when volatility spikes. An active take on a corner of the market dominated by index funds.

Stated mandate

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

RSMV The Fund seeks capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio primarily invested in common stocks of U.S. growth companies, generally emphasizing large-cap issuers. It may move into cash, U.S. Treasuries, or investment-grade fixed income for defensive purposes during periods of high volatility.

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.
  • RSMV The mandate is explicit: in high-volatility stretches the manager can move into cash, US Treasuries, or investment-grade bonds rather than ride a drawdown out in stocks.teucrium.com
  • Actively run rather than index-tracking, so the portfolio can shift on the manager's read of relative strength instead of waiting for a fixed reconstitution date.
  • Its risk readings so far sit at the calmer end of the systematic US momentum group, though the record covers only about a year.

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.
  • RSMV At 0.95% a year it runs well above the 0.69% median for systematic US momentum funds, and index rivals like MTUM and SPMO charge 0.15% and 0.13%.
  • Launched in January 2025, still small and thinly traded, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads and more price impact on bigger orders.
  • No published tracking index to measure the manager against, and the defensive switch cuts both ways: it can sit in bonds or cash while equities are climbing.
