ARK Funds See $8B In Net Outflows, But Cathie Wood Says ETF's Stocks Will Rebound

Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood’s flagship ARK Innovation ETF(NYSE:ARKK) has seen a significant decline over the last week, dropping back to a level last seen in mid-2020. The fund is currently down by more than 15%. 

The holdings of the ARK Innovation ETF are down more than 50% from their recent highs, including Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT), Block Inc (NYSE:SQ), Zoom Video Communications Inc (NASDAQ:ZM), and Roku Inc (NASDAQ:ROKU).

Shares of technology and biotech firms are down significantly, which are the companies ARK favors. 

Wood’s ETFs are at the center of the stock-market selloff that has pushed the S&P 500 down 7% and the Nasdaq Composite off by 12%.

But it seems Wood is positive about the stock rebound. In a blog post, she said, “After correcting for nearly 11 months, innovation stocks seem to have entered deep value territory, their valuations a fraction of peak levels.” 

Renato Leggi, a client portfolio manager at ARK, said that some investors have started to agree with Wood’s assessment over the last week and are buying shares.
