TOP PICK

Factor-based ETF, so not tied to value or growth. The managers behind it look at 6-month and 12-month performance, both risk-adjusted and normal. In its 10-year timeframe, highest weight of any one security has been 1.6% (doesn't ride the coattails of any one high flyer). 

70% US (which he has a bias for), and gives exposure to small- and mid-caps (which adds diversification). MER is 0.38%.

Note:  He doesn't own it yet, but it's really piquing his interest as it comes up on his screens.

WAIT
A lot of the fast money from momentum plays have been made. Companies with growth potential do not have enough income. As money comes out of the longer duration assets, momentum ETFs will probably see a pullback until it is rebalanced. Wait for now. Everyone should have exposure to momentum however.
BUY

It is one of four in a series. They are active ETFs. He has been following these products closely. VMO-T is every stock in the world held for momentum. The factor exposure comes with some risk, however.

TOP PICK

Momentum is a factor that has only gotten some airplay in the past 2-3 years. It is one of the relatively new factors. This is for those people who want to buy things based on momentum.
