VFMO: Diversification A Negative For Vanguard's Momentum ETF
VFMO is Vanguard's U.S. Momentum Factor ETF and offers investors diversified exposure to small, mid, and large-cap stocks with strong short- and long-term momentum features. Diversification is often seen as a positive selling point, but in this case, it's hindered returns since its February 13, 2018, launch date. VFMO lagged behind large-cap momentum stocks, represented by SPMO, by 1.28% per year from March 2018 to December 2023 and then underperformed by a massive 28% in 2024.

The ETF's diverse sector allocation, solid valuation metrics, and bullish seasonal trends make it a compelling investment choice.

VFMO: A Diversified Momentum ETF At Modest Valuation
Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF offers well-diversified allocations with modest valuations, making it attractive in a stretched valuation environment. VFMO's top holdings are mostly in the technology sector, but the fund maintains a diversified investment profile compared to the Russell 3000 index. VFMO's performance has been on par with benchmarks over 3-5 years, but has outperformed in the short term, despite modest exposure to mega caps.
