Cathie Wood’s ARKK ETF near losing all of its gains this year
Al Jazeera
Cathie Wood’s flagship exchange traded fund (ARKK) is caught up in the tech selloff on Wall Street.
A 20% drop from its all-time high has left Cathie Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund with the slenderest of gains for 2021. That looked increasingly at risk on Thursday. The Ark Innovation ETF (ticker ARKK) fell 5.2% at 10:18 a.m. in New York. Assuming that drop holds it will easily see the $22.9 billion fund erase all of its price advance for the year – the latest marker on the way down for what is still one of Wall Street’s hottest products. ARKK has been caught up in a selloff across pricey parts of the market, in particular the tech sector, as inflation fears grow and bond yields rise. ARKK’s largest holding, Tesla Inc., turned lower on Thursday following a steep drop a day earlier. Among some of the fund’s other big investments Square Inc. slumped 7% and Roku Inc. fell 4.9%.More Related News
