"ARK's actively managed ETFs successfully outpaced the broader market in Q2 2025, riding secular tailwinds in defense tech, crypto regulatory developments, and AI adoption as the broader economic rolling recession nears its end."
Executive Summary
During Q2 2025, all six of ARK's actively managed ETFs outperformed broad global equity indices. Catherine Wood highlights that key innovation sectors are being structurally revalued due to positive policy shifts and rapid declines in cost structures. Despite visible macroeconomic fragility in housing and consumer sentiment, the fund believes the convergence of disruptive technology platforms will act as a major catalyst to pull the global economy out of its rolling recession.
