Outperformance has been consistent since inception, except for a fund with a focus on low volatility.

The Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF (VFMO) provides investors with exposure to stocks with strong historical returns. Momentum can deliver strong returns during bull markets. But single factor strategies can also go through long periods of underperformance. Instead of focusing on just the Momentum factor, I recommend investors take a look at multifactor funds like the OMFL.
