How it works
IDMO is an index fund. It aims to track the S&P World Ex-U.S. Momentum Index, which S&P Dow Jones Indices builds and maintains. The fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in that index's stocks. The index starts from the S&P World Ex-U.S. Index, which covers large and mid-size companies in developed markets outside the US and South Korea. "Momentum" means the tendency of stocks that have done well lately to keep outperforming for a while.
To pick stocks, the index measures each company's price change over the past 12 months, leaving out the most recent month. It then adjusts that score for how volatile the stock has been. It ranks every stock by score, keeps the top 20%, and weights them mostly by company size, using a modified market-value method. As of December 31, 2025, the index held 180 stocks from countries including Japan, the UK, Canada, Spain and Germany.
The fund buys all the index's stocks in the same proportions, an approach called full replication. Because the list of winners keeps changing, the fund trades a lot. Its prospectus filed February 26, 2026 reports portfolio turnover of 105%. It uses no leverage, swaps or options. If the index leans heavily on one industry, the fund does too. As of October 31, 2025, it had significant exposure to financials.
What it really costs
- IDMO charges 0.25% a year, versus an average of 0.25% for the similar funds below (3rd of 5, cheapest first).
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $26 in the first year and $318 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IDMO | $26 | $80 | $141 | $318 |
In a retirement portfolio
It adds international stocks with a momentum tilt, high turnover and concentration in banks, which makes it better suited to a smaller slice of a portfolio than a core position.
IDMO adds developed-market stocks outside the US, tilted toward the strongest recent performers. That tilt cuts both ways. In the 2020 COVID crash it fell 31.3% and got back to its old high in about 3.5 months. In the 2022 bear market it dropped 26.7% and took 13.9 months, until November 24, 2023, to recover. Its deepest drop was 39.3%, from May 2015 to February 2016, and recovery took 47.9 months. Its worst calendar year was 2018, at -16.58%. The fund did not exist during the 2008 crisis. Anyone who sells shares for spending money during a slump like these locks in losses.
The trailing yield was 4.04% as of October 27, 2026, paid quarterly, but income can shift as holdings change. Costs are 0.25% a year, or $318 over 10 years in the SEC's standard $10,000 example. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Investors who want developed-market stocks outside the US with a momentum tilt, at 0.25% a year versus 0.30% for iShares' IMTM.
- Those comfortable with heavy bank exposure: HSBC, Banco Santander and Toronto-Dominion Bank were the top three holdings as of July 31, 2026.
- Long-term holders who can sit through drops like the 39.3% fall of 2015–2016, which took 47.9 months to recover.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-focused investors: Franklin's DIVI charges 0.11%, though it tracks a dividend-tilted index rather than a momentum one.
- Those wanting stable holdings: 105% turnover and momentum rotation mean the country and sector mix can change sharply.
- Anyone relying on predictable income, since the 4.04% trailing yield as of October 27, 2026 may shift as the stock list rotates.

Questions investors ask
What does IDMO invest in?
IDMO holds large and mid-size stocks in developed markets outside the US, chosen for strong price momentum. As of July 31, 2026, it held 191 stocks with $4.09 billion in net assets. HSBC (5.0%), Banco Santander (4.2%) and Toronto-Dominion Bank (4.1%) were the largest positions. The top 10 made up 29% of the fund. Japan (19.8%), the UK (16.6%), Canada (15.9%) and Spain (11.4%) were the biggest country weights.
What's the difference between IDMO and IMTM?
Both are international momentum ETFs, but they track different indexes. IDMO follows an S&P index and IMTM follows an MSCI index. About 45% of their holdings overlap. IDMO charges 0.25% a year and IMTM charges 0.30%. As of October 27, 2026, IDMO returned 14% over one year and 26.2% a year over three years. IMTM returned 13% and 23.1% over the same periods. The two are similar in size, at roughly $4.1 billion to $4.2 billion each as of July 31, 2026.
Does IDMO pay dividends?
Yes. IDMO pays dividends quarterly. Over the 12 months to October 27, 2026, it paid $2.38 per share, a trailing yield of 4.04%. That income comes from the dividends of the companies it holds, which as of July 31, 2026 included many large banks. Because the fund replaces stocks as momentum shifts, its payouts can change noticeably from year to year.
How has IDMO performed over 10 years?
IDMO returned 12.12% a year over the 10 years ended December 31, 2025, according to its prospectus. It returned 13.99% a year over five years and 41.85% in 2025 alone. The ride has been bumpy. It lost 16.58% in 2018 and 13.04% in 2022, and its worst quarter was a 16.64% drop in early 2020. Through October 27, 2026, it was up 8% year to date based on price.
Is IDMO good for retirement?
IDMO is better suited to a smaller, higher-risk slice of a retirement portfolio than to the core. It costs 0.25% a year, or $26 in the first year on a $10,000 investment in the SEC's standard example, and it pays quarterly income. But momentum can reverse quickly. The fund fell 26.7% in the 2022 bear market and needed 13.9 months to recover. Its deepest drop, 39.3%, took 47.9 months to recover.
