"We believe that artificial intelligence may allow us to identify patterns that are not readily discernible to human eyes, predict which factors may be likely to outperform, as well as note changing factor performance patterns," noted Mr. Hyung-Sik Kim, CEO of Qraft Technologies.  Mr. Kim went on to note that "artificial intelligence may help to analyze the big data of a vast number of companies simultaneously as well as construct balanced portfolios through a bottom-up approach."

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 and predict which factors are likely to do well going forward.

AMOM uses AI to achieve its goal of providing investors with purer exposure to the momentum factor.

QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF: Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of health care through outpatient services.

QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF: The Fund is subject to the risk that market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund's investments. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market.
