Renowned investor Cathie Wood celebrated her best day of the year on Thursday as the ARK family of funds added over $700 million in assets under management (AUM) in a single trading session.

This remarkable surge occurred on the heels of a pivotal decision by the Federal Reserve.

Just a day earlier, the Fed opted to maintain interest rates at a steady 5.25%-5.5% for the second consecutive meeting, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a rather cautious tone, which paved the way for a widespread market relief rally.

Wood’s investment philosophy, centered on identifying disruptive innovation and high-growth potential stocks, proved its mettle on Thursday as investors shed concerns about rate hikes and began factoring in the possibility of earlier interest-rate cuts in 2024.

The flagship ARKK Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKK) surged by more than 8%, marking its best-performing day since Nov. 10, 2022, delivering a $500 million increase in its AUM.

Other “smaller” members of Wood’s ARK family also showed robust gains, with the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:ARKW) up 7.2% and the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKF) up 6.7%.
