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.
