Defiance Rebrands AMOM as AIED, Adding LLM-Powered News Signals

Defiance ETFs has renamed the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF (AMOM) as the Defiance LLM Catalyst Momentum ETF (AIED), effective October 19, 2026. The actively managed fund, originally launched in May 2019, now combines quantitative price momentum signals with real-time company news analysis powered by large language models (LLMs). Developed using AI technology from Qraft Technologies, the strategy screens U.S. large-cap stocks based on 12-month momentum and risk-adjusted performance, while deep learning models forecast potential returns over four-week periods. The ETF targets a portfolio of approximately 50 stocks, with individual positions capped at 10% at rebalancing. AIED trades on NYSE Arca, charges an expense ratio of 0.75%, and is advised by Exchange Traded Concepts, with Defiance serving as sponsor.
