How ARK invests
ARK Invest (the Manager) believes the full magnitude of disruptive innovation and the investment opportunities it creates are often unrecognised or misunderstood. Research across sectors, industries, and markets provides a deeper understanding of the convergence and market potential of disruptive innovations. The Manager’s consistent investment process and active management seeks to capitalise on rapid change and avoids industries and companies likely to be displaced by innovation.
Open for research
To understand quickly changing innovation themes, ARK’s open research ecosystem gathers information that helps to define and refine its internal research process.
Model operations
ARK anticipates and quantifies multi-year value-chain transformations and market opportunities. Careful modelling identifies entry points for tech enabled disruption.
Keeping it close
Investment conviction, volatility and underlying fundamentals are closely monitored by ARK via its weekly portfolio and research meetings.
