New ETF Offers a Systematic Approach to U.S. Sector Rotation Using the Momentum Factor
GLASTONBURY, Conn., Sept. 9, 2025 -- Symmetry Partners, a leading investment manager, today launched the Symmetry Panoramic Sector MomentumTM ETF (Ticker: SMOM), designed to provide investors with systematic exposure to U.S. sectors demonstrating strong relative momentum.
SMOM seeks to capture opportunities across the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 via a systematic, rules-based approach that uses cross-sectional momentum to capitalize on performance trends.
Since the annual performance dispersion between the best and worst U.S. sectors has averaged more than 44% over the last 15 years (through 6/2025)1, a dynamic strategy focused on top-performing sectors offers the potential for enhanced returns.
To capture evolving sector trends, Symmetry combines robust, research-backed momentum signals with a disciplined rebalancing approach. The result is a systematic approach that keeps exposure aligned with market sectors demonstrating persistent strength, delivered through a tax-efficient, transparent ETF structure.
SMOM may provide Financial Advisors and investors with a compelling solution for diversification* and potential return enhancement. It can complement a traditional core U.S. portfolio, serve as an active strategy replacement, or further diversify investment factor-tilted portfolios.
The ETF is based on the same methodology as Symmetry's Sector Momentum SMA, launched in 2018.
"The SMOM release underscores our commitment to providing innovative, evidence-based solutions," said David Connelly, CEO of Symmetry Partners. "Sector momentum has historically been a powerful driver of returns,2 and we believe this ETF delivers a disciplined way to access those trends."
Key Highlights of SMOM:
- Ticker: SMOM
- Strategy: Rules-based sector rotation grounded in cross-sectional momentum signals
- Objective: The Symmetry Panoramic Sector Momentum ETF seeks long-term capital appreciation.
- Structure: Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) listed on NASDAQ1
