But ARK Innovation ishaving a rough 2021: After rising another 26% by mid-February, the $22 billion ETF has tumbled over the past six weeks, and is now down 9% year to date. Investors need to understand the dramatic portfolio changes that have occurred in the past year to see what they own and determine the fund’s role in their portfolios.For starters: A year ago, ARK Innovation was a small-company fund. Today, it’s solidly mid-cap, with 51% of its assets in large-company stocks. The average market cap of its holdings has increased from $5 billion last March to $39 billion by the end of February. That, in large part, is due to how much many holdings have run up. Notably, top holdingTesla(TSLA) has returned 500% in the past year even after the recent pullback.Many active funds have limitations on the size of companies they can buy and continue to own. ARK Innovation doesn’t have such constraints. It’s open to stocks up and down the capitalization spectrum—from the $594 billion Tesla to the $1 billionCerus(CERS). “We don’t really look at market caps. We are pretty agnostic to that,” says Ren Leggi, ARK’s client portfolio manager. “We’re looking at where innovation takes us.”The growth of its existing holdings only partially explains the fund’s tilt toward larger stocks. Over the past few months, ARK Innovation has also been selling shares in smaller-cap firms, many in biotech, includingOrganovo Holdings(ONVO),Seres Therapeutics(MCRB), Compugen(CGEN), andEditas Medicine(EDIT).Meanwhile, the fund has added a significant amount of large-cap internet stocks likePayPal Holdings(PYPL), Shopify(SHOP),Zoom Video Communications(ZM); and foreign firms such as Tencent Holdings(TCEHY), Baidu(BIDU),Sea(SE), and Nintendo(NTDOY). The ETF owned none of those names last July.The recent trading has shifted ARK Innovation’s sector composition as well. In March 2020, biotech and diagnostics were the largest industries in the fund, making up 22% and 15% of the portfolio, respectively. By the end of February, biotech only made up 14%, and diagnostics, 8%.Meanwhile, ARK Innovation has increased assets in internet and software stocks—from 6% of each in March 2020, to 15% and 9% as of February. Shopify, which wasn’t in ARK Innovation as of last October, is now the eighth-largest stock in the fund with a 3.1% weight.Still, compared to its peers in the mid-cap growth category, ARK Innovation is relatively heavy on healthcare and light on technology, says Amy Arnott, portfolio strategist at Morningstar.Some suspect the shift toward bigger companies is the result of ARK Innovation’s unprecedented growth. The fund attracted $16 billion in new assets in the past year. If that money was invested in smaller companies, it couldquickly bump up ARK’s stakein them to perilous levels. From that perspective, putting that money in more liquid large-cap stocks seems a safer option. “The bigger they get, the more difficult it is for them to establish meaningful positions in smaller-cap stocks,” Arnott says.ARK denies that recent trading decisions have anything to do with capacity, saying those moves are driven by conviction, valuation, and tactical considerations. For example, ARK Innovation exited DNA sequencing firmIllumina(ILMN)—once its second-largest holding behind Tesla—and added rivalPacific Biosciences of California(PACB), because it sees a shift of disruption from short-read to long-read genomic sequencing, says Leggi. It sold other names because they’d become too expensive compared to peers.The firm has also been preparing for a market correction since last year, says Leggi, and large-cap additions were meant to offer downside protection and cash-like reserves to buy high-conviction names at low prices during a downturn.A shift in portfolio characteristics—from small-cap to mid-cap, more healthcare to more internet—means ARK Innovation will likely have less volatility down the road. Many biotechs lack cash flow or revenue until they get a product approved, while internet companies usually have some products or services on the market.This could mean ARK’s performance this year will look a lot more like 2019 than 2020. “It’s still a very aggressive growth fund,” says Arnott, “But it can be more difficult for a fund to sustain its performance edge as it gains assets.”Leggi says larger companies don’t necessarily mean less growth: ARK just released its updatedprice target for Tesla at $3,000 by 2025, 385% higher than today’s price. In fact, in certain industries where earlier and larger disruptors have already established themselves, it would be hard for small rivals to compete, says Leggi.“There have been a number of smaller EV [electric vehicle] manufacturers going public through SPACs,” he says, referring to special purpose acquisition companies, essentially shell companies used to bring private companies public. “We don’t invest in them, because we don’t think they’re well-positioned to be the new leader because of how capital-intensive it is. Tesla is far ahead. It’s unlikely to see as much small-cap exposure in our portfolios as you had a few years back.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":355495846,"gmtCreate":1617093398685,"gmtModify":1704801863332,"author":{"id":"3572989459139407","authorId":"3572989459139407","name":"Sachinpnyr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec1478fc6ed7f7f4c6aed0ee012469e7","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3572989459139407","idStr":"3572989459139407"},"htmlText":"Oh okay","listText":"Oh okay","text":"Oh okay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355495846","repostId":1192930137,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":355588621,"gmtCreate":1617085341963,"gmtModify":1704801764727,"author":{"id":"3576147606699436","authorId":"3576147606699436","name":"DenDenBear","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01e983ba302bc271159224fa4bb390e6","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3576147606699436","idStr":"3576147606699436"},"htmlText":"Good read.
