How it works
The fund doesn't track an index. Its adviser aims for capital appreciation, or growth in share value, mainly through common stocks of U.S. growth companies, usually those valued above $10 billion. Stock holdings are focused, typically 20 to 50 companies, and can lean on one sector. It may also own growth-stock ETFs and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which own property.
The adviser starts top-down, studying the economy, sector trends and market conditions with measures such as value, momentum, size, quality and volatility. The focus is momentum: the tendency of investments that have outperformed peers to keep doing so. Momentum is gauged by price moves adjusted for volatility, so overly jumpy investments are generally passed over. Within favored groups, statistical models and sometimes reviews of company finances and management steer individual picks.
The "managed volatility" part means moving into cash, U.S. government debt and high-quality corporate bonds, directly or via funds, when markets turn turbulent; for temporary defense, it can hold them without limit. On June 30, 2026, 23.9% sat in the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) and 9.8% in the State Street SPDR Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF (SPTS); the fund held no options or other derivatives. Turnover of 591% equals replacing the portfolio nearly six times a year, with trading costs falling outside the expense ratio.
What it really costs
- RSMV charges 0.95% a year.
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $97 in the first year and $1,166 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RSMV | $97 | $303 | $525 | $1,166 |
In a retirement portfolio
A concentrated, heavily traded momentum strategy with a short record and $24.7 million in net assets as of June 30, 2026, fits better as a small add-on than as a portfolio's foundation.
The fund could add growth-stock exposure with the ability to retreat into bonds; as of June 30, 2026, about a third sat in two bond ETFs. It launched January 13, 2025, so it has no record through the 2008 financial crisis, 2020 COVID crash or 2022 bear market. In price history starting June 9, 2026, its deepest drop was 7.2%, from June 22 to July 29, and it had not recovered by October 27. Someone who may need to sell in a bad year has little evidence of how its defensive shift holds up.
It isn't an income fund: the trailing 12-month yield was 0% as of October 27, 2026. Costs are 0.95% a year, or $97 in year one and $1,166 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 wanting one actively managed fund that rotates between momentum-driven U.S. growth stocks and bonds, and who accept a 0.95% annual fee for it.
- Those comfortable with concentration: about 20 stocks as of June 30, 2026, led by semiconductor names like Applied Materials and Intel, plus four big banks.
- Investors looking for a small add-on to core index holdings who can live with a short record: the fund launched January 13, 2025.
Look elsewhere if
- Retirees who need income from their holdings: the trailing 12-month yield was 0% as of October 27, 2026, and any payouts come annually.
- Cost-focused or index investors: the 0.95% fee applies to all assets, including about a third in plain bond ETFs, and 591% turnover adds trading costs.
- Anyone wanting a larger, tested fund: net assets were $24.7 million on June 30, 2026, after $7.9 million of outflows over three months.

Questions investors ask
What are RSMV's top holdings?
As of June 30, 2026, RSMV held about 20 stocks plus two bond ETFs. The bond funds were its largest positions: the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) at 23.9% and the State Street SPDR Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF (SPTS) at 9.8%. The biggest stocks were Applied Materials (4.0%), Intel (3.8%), Lam Research (3.7%) and AMD (3.6%). Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo each made up a little over 3%. The top 10 made up 62.6% of assets.
Does RSMV pay dividends?
Not over the past year: RSMV's trailing 12-month yield was 0% as of October 27, 2026, and any payouts come once a year. That matches its goal, which is capital appreciation, or growth in share value, rather than income. Investors who depend on regular cash from their holdings would get little here, and raising cash would mean selling shares, possibly at a loss in a weak market.
What is RSMV's expense ratio?
RSMV's expense ratio is 0.95% a year, all of it management fee, according to its prospectus filed April 29, 2026. In the SEC's standard example, an investor putting $10,000 in and earning 5% a year would pay about $97 in total costs over one year, $303 over three, $525 over five and $1,166 over 10. That is well above what many index funds charge. Trading costs from its 591% portfolio turnover come on top and aren't part of the expense ratio.
How does RSMV manage volatility?
Through stock selection and shifts into bonds, not options. The adviser favors stocks that have outperformed peers, after adjusting for volatility, which tends to screen out the jumpiest ones. It can also move into cash, U.S. government debt and high-quality bonds when markets turn turbulent. On June 30, 2026, about a third sat in two bond ETFs, and it held no derivatives. From June 9 to October 27, 2026, its beta was 0.84, meaning it tended to swing somewhat less than the stock market.
Is RSMV good for retirement?
Its record is too short to judge. RSMV launched January 13, 2025, so it hasn't been tested in market declines like those of 2008, 2020 or 2022, and its move into bonds during turmoil is unproven under real stress. Its trailing 12-month yield was 0% as of October 27, 2026, it costs 0.95% a year and it had $24.7 million in net assets on June 30, 2026. It may suit investors wanting a small, actively managed add-on rather than a core holding.
