WDRN No data

Stated mandate

ARKQ The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

WDRN No data

Why people hold it

  • ARKQ Active by design: at least 80% of assets sit in autonomous technology and robotics companies ARK selects itself, held in a tight book of about 40 names.ark-funds.com
  • Unusual openness for an active fund: ARK posts portfolio holdings files every trading day and sends trade information for its active ETFs to anyone who subscribes.ark-funds.com
  • Launched in 2014, it is one of the longer-running names in the robotics and automation group and has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund.
  • The mandate is global, so ARK can own foreign as well as domestic robotics and autonomy companies rather than being fenced into US listings.ark-funds.com

WDRN No data

Worth knowing

  • ARKQ At 0.75% a year it runs above the roughly 0.65% cohort median and well above index-built rivals like BOTT (0.35%) and IBOT (0.47%). The stock picking is what you pay for.
  • Non-diversified with about 40 holdings, so a handful of positions steer the ride and single-stock news lands harder than in a broad-market fund.ark-funds.com
  • Everything rides on the manager's calls: the prospectus flags management risk and the fund's dependence on the adviser's key personnel.ark-funds.com
