ARK Invest: Cathie Wood’s Portfolio of Future Innovators

 

ARK Invest’s Recent Moves

Recently, I came across an article about ARK Invest reducing its positions in Tesla and Palantir. Today, I’m summarizing ARK Invest, the asset management firm led by Cathie Wood.

ARK Invest is a global asset management firm focused on disruptive innovation. Founded in 2014 by Cathie Wood, the firm is known for its actively managed ETFs that invest in breakthrough technologies and industries. According to etf.com, ARK Invest’s total assets under management (AUM) are $10.7 billion, equivalent to approximately ₩14.5 trillion in Korean won.


ARK Invest’s Flagship Products

ARK Invest manages a range of ETFs. While the firm also operates venture funds, ETFs remain its primary investment products. The ETFs are categorized into Active ETFs, Sub-Advised ETFs, and Index ETFs.

1. Active ETFs (Actively Managed)
