- Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend ETF (VMOT) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to global value and momentum factors through an equal-risk-weighted portfolio of underlying ETFs, including Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF (QVAL), Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF (IVAL), Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (QMOM), and Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF (IMOM); the fund deploys a trend-following model to dynamically hedge up to 100% of its equity exposure during downtrending markets using risk-parity allocations across these holdings, which typically comprise 180-200 U.S. and international stocks focused on high-momentum and low-valuation securities. VMOT offers investors a multifactor approach to developed-market equities with lower volatility compared to traditional benchmarks, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking systematic factor investing strategies in global equity markets. The ETF trades on Nasdaq and maintains assets under management of approximately $22 million with a net expense ratio of 1.38%. Issued by Alpha Architect, LLC—a quantitative investment firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Havertown, Pennsylvania—VMOT launched on May 3, 2017, as part of the firm's broader suite of factor-based ETFs offered through its RIA subsidiary, Empowered Funds, LLC (dba EA Series Trust and ETF Architect). Alpha Architect operates globally with a focus on U.S. and international developed markets, providing separately managed accounts, white-label ETF services, and evidence-based strategies to wealth managers, family offices, and institutions. In recent developments, VMOT transitioned from passive index-tracking to active management in early 2022, enhancing its flexibility in factor allocations and hedging. Alpha Architect has expanded aggressively, launching new low-distribution equity ETFs like Alpha Architect U.S. Equity ETF (AAUS) in July 2025 with over $400 million in seed capital via Section 351 in-kind transfers, Alpha Architect U.S. Equity 2 ETF (AAEQ) in December 2025 seeded with nearly $500 million, and Alpha Architect Aggregate Bond ETF (BOXA) in December 2024; these moves reflect strategic growth in tax-efficient ETF wrappers and partnerships, including with Cache for S&P 500-benchmarked exchange funds. The firm now manages over $12 billion in total ETF assets across 15 funds as of December 2025, underscoring its evolution from a consulting practice into a leading ETF innovator.
