Is ARKK A Buy Right Now?
The ARK Invest investment company’s flagship fund is ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). The ARKK ETF focuses on companies that exhibit “disruptive innovation,” a technologically enabled new product or service that potentially changes the way the world works.
The ARK Innovation ETF surged more than 152% in 2020, handily beating the Nasdaq’s hefty 43.6% return. But the ARKK ETF sharply underperformed the Nasdaq in 2021. For the year, the ARKK finished down 24% compared to the Nasdaq’s 21.4% advance. That underperformance continued into 2022 with the ARKK ETF down more than 60% through Sept. 30 compared to the Nasdaq’s 32.4% fall through the same period.
With the ARKK ETF about 70% off its 52-week high, the ETF is not a buy right now. Wait for the ETF to halt its current downtrend, form a new base and then break out past a correct buy point to indicate the proper time to buy. The ARKK ETF declined 1% Monday.
Other ARK ETFs include Autonomous Technology & Robotics (ARKQ), Next Generation Internet (ARKW), Genomic Revolution (ARKG), Fintech Innovation (ARKF) and the recently debuted Space Exploration and Innovation (ARKX).
How To Invest Like Cathie Wood: Focus On Game Changers
The ARKK fund’s huge gain in 2020 resulted from big stock success stories in cutting-edge tech areas: DNA sequencing, robotics, artificial intelligence, energy storage and blockchain technology.
“Disruptive innovation is often not priced correctly by traditional investment strategies because people may not understand how big the ultimate opportunities are going to be. They aren’t sizing the opportunity and they aren’t analyzing the disruption,” Wood, the founder and CEO of ARK Invest, commented on the company’s website.
