Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF (VFMO) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund on the BATS exchange that pursues a momentum investing strategy. The fund primarily invests in U.S. common stocks identified by the advisor as having strong recent performance, aiming to capture higher returns relative to the broad U.S. equity market. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of its assets are allocated to securities issued by U.S. companies, and the portfolio is constructed across a diverse mix of market sectors and industry groups.
Momentum investing is a well-established factor-based strategy that selects securities exhibiting recent upward price trends, based on the empirical tendency for prior winners to continue outperforming over the short-to-medium term. The fund launched in February 2018 and is categorized in the Mid-Cap Blend segment, reflecting its typical exposure to mid-sized U.S. companies, though its small overall market capitalization places it among the smaller ETFs by total assets.
