Our read on SARK
BMost inverse funds bet against an index. SARK aims at one actively managed portfolio, the ARK Innovation ETF, seeking the opposite of its move over a single trading day. A trading tool with a very specific target.
The Fund seeks daily inverse exposure to the ARK Innovation ETF for one trading day, using swaps and daily repositioning. It is intended for sophisticated, actively managed trading or hedging strategies.
Why people hold it
- 0.96% a year, below the median for inverse and leveraged funds, so the wrapper isn't the expensive part of the trade.
- Short exposure without a margin account or locating shares to borrow: swaps inside an ETF you buy like any other share.
- Points at one disruptive-innovation portfolio instead of a broad index, so the exposure is a scalpel on a single style rather than the whole market.
- Live since 2021 and among the better-built options in its inverse and leveraged peer group on cost and day-to-day execution.
Worth knowing
- The exposure resets every day. Hold past a session and compounding can push your result well away from the inverse of the period's move.
- The target is actively managed: the other fund's manager can reshuffle holdings at will, and you are short whatever they own that day.
- Small fund, narrow mission. Niche daily-reset products lean on continued trader interest in the one theme they trade against.

SARK Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 47.0%
