ARK’s thematic investment strategies span market capitalizations, sectors, and geographies to focus on public companies that we expect to be the leaders, enablers, and beneficiaries of disruptive innovation. ARK’s strategies aim to deliver long-term growth with low correlation to traditional investment strategies.
Invest In The Future Today
Innovation should displace industry incumbents, increase efficiencies, and gain majority market share. While we believe the threat to existing businesses is grave, the long-term opportunities for companies and investors participating in this change could be measured in the trillions.
ARK Identifies More Innovation Than Ever Before
In the late nineteenth century, three innovation platforms evolved at the same time and changed the way the world worked. Thanks to the introduction of the telephone, automobile, and electricity, the world’s productivity exploded as costs dropped, unleashing demand across sectors. Today, we believe the global economy is undergoing the largest technological transformation in history thanks to five innovation platforms evolving at the same time.
