QMOM seeks long-term capital appreciation by targeting the 10% of stocks with the highest total return over the last 12 months, excluding the most recent month. The fund also screens for consistency of momentum by excluding stocks with too many negative-return days during the 12-month period. This methodology aims to select 40-50 stocks which get weighted equally. The index is reconstituted quarterly, starting February. QMOM launched as an actively managed fund but began tracking a new homegrown index in January 2017. On January 31, 2022, the fund switched back to being actively managed. These changes did not significantly alter the funds strategy or holdings.
