Today Alpha Architect launched an actively managed ETF on the BATS exchange targeting U.S. stocks exhibiting momentum characteristics. The holdings of the [MomentumShares U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (QMOM)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1592900/000158281614000551/prosai.htm) are selected using a quantitative model.

QMOM holds stocks that Alpha Architect believes have positive momentum. Its portfolio includes roughly 50 companies at any given time, mainly concentrated in the large-cap space, although it can invest in small- and midcap stocks.

The fund comes with an expense ratio of 0.79%.

**Hedged Bond Funds Planned**

[Deutsche Bank has filed](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1503123/000119312515391024/d90483d485apos.htm) for three currency-hedged international bond ETFs. The funds will track indexes of international issues that are denominated in non-U.S. currency.

The ETFs will cover three major spaces in the international bond market: Treasurys, investment-grade corporate bonds and high-yield bonds. They include the following:

- Deutsche X-trackers BofA Merrill Lynch International Treasury Bond Hedged ETF (ASHP)
- Deutsche X-trackers BofA Merrill Lynch International Corporate Bond Hedged ETF (ASHF)
- Deutsche X-trackers BofA Merrill Lynch International High Yield Bond Hedged ETF (ASHV)

The filing did not include expense ratios; however, it did indicate that the funds would list on the NYSE Arca exchange.
