Lunt Capital Management

Lunt Capital Management

Lunt Capital Management was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Holladay, Utah. The firm is best known in the marketplace as the architect and sponsor behind the Lunt Capital US Large Cap Equity Rotation ETF and related momentum-driven mandates. Rather than simply tracking a static benchmark, Lunt's investment approach uses a systematic, rules-based process to allocate capital toward market segments exhibiting the strongest relative momentum. This positions the firm as a specialized quant shop within the broader registered investment advisor community. The firm's core ETF strategies employ a tactical rotation methodology, shifting exposure between US large-cap equities, Treasury bonds, and cash equivalents depending on prevailing trend signals, as described in fund prospectuses and regulatory filings (per SEC filings, various years). The stated objective is participation in rising markets with a built-in mechanism to pivot defensive when momentum weakens. Lunt's strategies are typically executed through a proprietary index series, with the firm serving as both the index provider and the investment advisor to the funds. The geographic footprint is concentrated in US-listed securities, though the underlying holdings span multiple macroeconomic sectors including technology, healthcare, and financials. Lunt Capital Management operates from a single office in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The firm provides investment advisory services to a mix of individual investors, pension plans, trusts, and corporations, according to its Form ADV disclosures. While it functions as a registered investment advisor, its public identity is tightly intertwined with the performance and distribution of its namesake ETF family. The firm's recent regulatory filings indicate it continues to manage the same suite of tactical allocation products that brought it initial recognition. Lunt's structural differentiator lies in its dual role as both an ETF sponsor and investment advisor executing a proprietary index strategy. Most asset managers license a third-party index for their ETFs; Lunt built and maintains its own quantitative framework in-house. This architecture allows the firm to retain full control over the intellectual property governing its rotation signals, a model more common among large quantitative hedge funds than small ETF issuers based in suburban Utah.
