Australian Momentum ETF
- Australian shares
Invest in a portfolio of Australian companies showing strong momentum
Overview
Fund objective
MTUM aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) comprising a portfolio of Australian companies with above average momentum scores, as measured by risk-adjusted returns.
Fund strategy
MTUM’s index ranks 200 of the largest stocks on the ASX by their 6- and 12-month risk-adjusted returns and selects the top 50 stocks based on those rankings at each selection day. This selection process is repeated every two months. The final portfolio comprises the top 50 stocks selected on each of the last four selection days. This typically results in a portfolio of around 90 stocks with a mix of partial and full weighting allocations depending on how consistently each stock has ranked in the top 50 over the four selection days. Any stock that is ranked in the lowest 10% based on its 6-month total return at the latest selection day is removed from the final portfolio. For full details of MTUM’s index methodology, please refer to the PDS.
Benefits of MTUM
-
Proven investment approach
Momentum investing is a proven approach that seeks to identify stocks that show a recent trend of outperforming the broad market, based on the theory that such trends are likely to persist.
-
Portfolio diversification
Momentum investing provides a unique return profile that can be used in combination with other active and passive equity funds.
-
Convenient, systematic way to implement momentum investing
Momentum investing can be difficult to implement and is susceptible to human bias. MTUM’s index is purely rules-based, prioritising stocks with strong and consistent momentum, while cutting the worst performers quickly.
There are risks associated with an investment in MTUM, including market risk, index methodology risk, portfolio turnover risk and concentration risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be made after considering your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on this website.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
