Buy-and-hold, with a built-in hedge.
When our AI detects elevated risk, a hedge activates automatically, aiming to reduce downside. Your core holdings stay invested.
How it works
Built for both sides of the market.
Your core portfolio compounds through the good. The hedge defends through the bad.
Fully invested
Full market exposure. Your core positions compound without interference. This is the default state for most market environments.
Hedge activated
A hedge activates to help offset potential losses. When conditions normalize, the hedge is removed automatically.

Common questions
How is this different from traditional buy-and-hold?
Traditional buy-and-hold strategies maintain constant market exposure through all cycles. Risk-Aware Growth applies a long-term approach while incorporating a rules-based hedge designed to manage drawdowns during periods of elevated risk.
Will hedging cap my upside?
Our Risk-Aware strategies are designed to remain invested for long-term growth while selectively applying hedges during periods of elevated risk. Most of the time, portfolios maintain standard market exposure, allowing participation in market advances.
Hedging is applied through predefined, rules-based criteria as part of a broader risk-aware approach. While no strategy can eliminate risk or guarantee outcomes, the goal is to manage downside exposure without turning the portfolio into a conservative or permanently hedged allocation.
Is this just another ETF or mutual fund?
No. alphaAI Capital strategies are implemented as managed portfolios, not packaged funds. Rather than buying a single ETF or mutual fund, your portfolio is managed using a rules-based approach that adjusts exposure over time within predefined parameters.
