Two Robot-Run Qraft ETFs Mark Their Two-Year Anniversary

NEW YORK, May 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On 5/21/21, Qraft AI ETFs celebrated the two-year anniversary of the Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF (NYSE Arca: QRFT) and the Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. Large-Cap Momentum ETF (NYSE Arca: AMOM). The funds aim to provide investors with a balanced exposure to factors that have historically been associated with strong investment returns. In pursuing their investment objective, the funds leverage AI technology in an effort to find high alpha factors and extract investment strategies that could bring potential outperformance.

As of 4/30/21, both QRFT and AMOM have outperformed the S&P 500 Index since inception.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns less than one year are not annualized. Performance data current to the most recent month-end and quarter end may be obtained by visiting qraftaietf.com.  Gross and Net Expense Ratio: 0.75%

"It is gratifying to see the performance that these funds have experienced over the past two years," said Marcus Kim, Founder and CEO of Qraft Technologies, Inc. Marcus went on to note that "it gives weight to our core mission of utilizing artificial intelligence in the investment management process with the aim of producing strong investment results."

QRFT looks to provide investors with exposure to quality, size, valuation, momentum, and low risk. The fund uses AI in an aim to identify its historical relationship with macroeconomic and financial factors with the correct point-in-time data and identify which factors are likely to do well going forward. In other words, Qraft's core AI technology explores the vast search space and find probable factor candidates to produce excess returns quickly and efficiently.

AMOM uses AI to achieve its goal of providing investors with purer exposure to the momentum factor. In recent months, AMOM has been delivering results that have outperformed the S&P 500. Among the main drivers of AMOM's performance was correctly anticipating the price movements of Tesla. AMOM was able to add Tesla when its monthly return was positive and reduced its position to zero when the stock price turned out negative. So far, however, AMOM couldn't correctly time other major stocks in its portfolio. Top ten holdings as of 5/20/21 include Facebook (8.15%), Amazon (7.79%), Tesla (5.35%), Walmart (4.31%), NVIDIA Corp (3.96%), Home Depot (3.79%), Adobe Inc. (2.96%), Texas Instruments Inc.  (2.53%), Lowes (2.25%), and Inuit (2.16%).

Over the past two years, Qraft and Exchange Traded Concepts, advisor to the Funds, have deepened their relationship through the introduction of two additional ETFs – the Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF (HDIV), launched on 2/27/20, and the Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. Next Value ETF (NVQ), launched on 12/2/20.

"Qraft ETFs fits well with ETC's focus on bringing distinctive and compelling investment ideas to market," remarked Garrett Stevens, CEO of Exchange Traded Concepts, the firm that serves as advisor to the funds.  "We are thrilled that our relationship with Qraft has expanded over the past two years and we look forward to working with them in the future on new products and opportunities," noted Mr. Stevens.
