QMOMAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF

SEIMASEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Momentum Active 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.

SEIM Momentum with a chaperone. SEI's quant model buys U.S. large caps that have been running, then leans on quality, value and low volatility to sand off the edges, all for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

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

SEIM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks with relatively strong recent performance, using quantitative active stock selection and portfolio optimization.

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.
  • SEIM Charges 0.15% a year, a fraction of the typical fund in its active momentum peer group and level with the cheapest brand-name momentum ETFs like MTUM.
  • Not pure chase-the-winners: the prospectus model also weighs quality, value and low volatility, so recent strength gets vetted, not just ranked.
  • Roughly 70 names, concentrated enough for the factor to actually show up, run as an active quant mandate rather than a fixed index rebuild.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger implementations among the systematic U.S. momentum funds we cover.

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.
  • SEIM Momentum buys what has already moved. When market leadership rotates, this style can turn over quickly and trail the broad market.
  • Launched in 2022, so the live record is short and hasn't spanned many market regimes.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded, so bid-ask spreads are worth a glance at the moment you trade.
