Cathie Wood's ARK Invest, which manages nearly $60 billion in assets, avoided participating in the IPO of British chipmaker Arm Holdings due to concerns about overemphasis on AI and high valuation. Arm's stock has since declined about 20% from its all-time high. ARK Invest's flagship fund, Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK), has seen a 25% surge this year, driven by holdings in companies like Tesla, Shopify, and Coinbase. Wood recently purchased Rize ETF, a British thematic ETF provider, marking ARK Invest's entry into the European passive investment market.
