Our read on ARKK

ETF.net Research

CThe headline act of thematic investing. Since 2014, ARKK has run an actively managed portfolio of US and foreign companies tied to disruptive innovation, aiming for long-term capital growth with no index to hide behind.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital growth through an actively managed portfolio invested primarily in domestic and foreign equity securities connected to disruptive innovation.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Genuinely active: managers pick domestic and foreign stocks connected to disruptive innovation and target long-term capital growth, rather than tracking a theme index.ark-funds.com
  2. 02Very actively traded and multi-billion-dollar in size, so getting in and out tends to be easier than with the thinner funds on the innovation shelf.
  3. 03Launched in 2014, it is one of the longest-running funds in a category where themes get packaged and shelved fast.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.75%, it charges above the 0.65% typical for its peer group, and index-based takes on the same theme run cheaper (KOMP at 0.20%, XT at 0.46%).
  2. 02Active and growth-focused, it ranks among the most volatile funds in its disruptive-innovation peer group. Expect a bumpy ride.
  3. 03A capital-growth mandate, not an income one: shareholder return comes from share price, with no regular distribution schedule.
