SumGrowth introduced two new ETFs on Oct. 16, under the brand AlphaDroid. The AlphaDroid Defensive Sector Rotation ETF (NASDAQ:EZRO) and the AlphaDroid Broad Markets Momentum ETF (NASDAQ:EZMO).

In contrast to conventional ETFs that generally follow a sector, factor, or market theme, AlphaDroid ETFs utilize proprietary tactical portfolio management systems that compare dozens of underlying ETFs monthly. The funds focus on automatically shifting between momentum leaders in bull markets and defensive leaders in periods of bear market indication.

CEO Scott Juds said that when incorporated into a tax-efficient ETF wrapper, SumGrowth’s indexes can delay taxable trading events and qualify for long-term capital gains, sharing benefits that longest-lasting investors value most.

The ETFs incorporate sophisticated signal processing methods, including AI Feedback Loops and Fuzzy Logic, to respond to evolving market conditions. Investors can anticipate portfolios that actively seek out high-momentum ETFs when markets are rising, then move to more conservative leaders in times of market pressure.

The tax-advantaged design also enables the deferral of trading incidents and may make you eligible for long-term capital gain rates. In the meantime, the algorithmic trading strategy allows investors to remain hands-off as the system makes portfolio adjustments based on market signals.

The launch is a testament to an increasing trend of employing advanced indexing strategies and artificial intelligence to optimize ETF performance and risk control. The rollout arrives as artificial intelligence continues to remake the asset management industry. ETF issuers are racing to include AI-based strategies that can sift through immense amounts of data, spot momentum trends, and alter exposures quicker than traditional human-run portfolios.

From stock picking to risk modeling, AI-driven funds have gained traction in 2025 as investors seek instruments that can navigate volatility and potentially boost gains during turbulent markets. By melding momentum and defensive philosophies with automated portfolio management, SumGrowth seeks to provide investors with a smarter, responsive alternative in turbulent markets.

The ETFs give investors exposure to AI-based strategies that were once the preserve of hedge funds and institutional accounts.
