ARK Invest Surpasses $1 Billion In AUM Across Its European Funds

ARKK and ARKI lead inflows as European demand for high-conviction innovation strategies accelerates

The milestone comes exactly two years after ARK Investment Management LLC acquired Rize ETF in September 2023 and subsequently launched 3 ARK ETFs in April 2024. Surpassing this milestone underscores the growing demand from European allocators for active, high-conviction exposure to disruptive innovation.

Stuart Forbes, Head of ARK Invest Europe and Global Head of Distribution said: “Crossing one billion demonstrates that European allocators want research-driven, high-conviction exposure to technological innovation, delivered with transparency, discipline and service. It’s a testament to the tremendous quality of our globally-recognised research that underpins all of our active investment solutions. It is also a testament to the team’s work in building deep, long-term relationships with clients and investors. As we scale, we’re expanding our partnerships across Europe and globally, with several exciting new products and client-focused initiatives set to launch soon.”

Cathie Wood, Founder, CEO & CIO of ARK Invest, said: “This milestone reflects the power of deep research and high-conviction investing. As AI rapidly transforms industries, our disciplined approach to identifying future leaders puts us in a strong position to deliver long-term value to our investors. Before entering the European market in 2023, we saw high demand for our research in the region. Two years later, I’ve had the opportunity to join our European team in meeting hundreds of investors across Europe and I look forward to continuing those conversations during our upcoming events this September. It’s incredibly energising to witness firsthand the enthusiasm and trust our clients have in ARK’s vision. Europe has always been a region deeply engaged with innovation, and we remain fully committed to serving its forward-thinking investors.”
