ARK Believes Disruptive Innovation Is Key To Growth
ARK defines disruptive innovation as the introduction of a technologically enabled product or service that should transform economic activity by creating simplicity and accessibility while driving down costs. Despite its potential, the full magnitude of disruptive innovation and the investment opportunities it creates often are unrecognized or misunderstood by traditional investors.
ARK’s Investment Team Is Rooted In Experience
ARK is rooted in over 40 years of experience in identifying and investing in disruptive innovations that should change the way the world works and deliver outsized growth as industries transform. ARK’s CIO and Director of Research have worked together for almost 15 years and recognize that disruptive innovation demands a dynamic and universal approach.
ARK Utilizes An Open Research Ecosystem
ARK believes that a combination of top-down and bottom-up research allows it to size the investment opportunity of disruptive innovation, and then detect and evaluate companies best positioned to benefit. To gain a deeper understanding of quickly changing themes, ARK employs an open research approach to gather information, both helping to define and refine its internal research process.
ARK Actively Manages High Conviction Portfolios
ARK believes that its investment process and active management of high-conviction portfolios capitalizes on rapid change and avoids industries and companies likely to be displaced by innovation. ARK uses its own scoring system to continuously value companies and monitor the underlying investment thesis. As scores change, ARK’s Investment Team adjusts stock positions in the portfolio.
