You should carefully consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other important information about a Fund, which can be obtained by clicking the corresponding link or dialing the indicated phone number herein. Please read the appropriate prospectus carefully before investing.


GENERAL RISK FACTORS


You should be aware that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Please note that the price of units or shares and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Income receivable may vary from the amount of income projected at the time of making the investment.


Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the value of an investment and any income derived from it.


If you exercise any right to redeem, you may not get back the amount initially invested if the unit or share price has fallen since you invested. Deductions for charges and expenses, particularly the initial charge (if any), are not made uniformly throughout the life of the investment, so if you redeem out of the investment during the early years, you may not get back the amount invested.


There can be no guarantee that the tax position or proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment will not change. Dividends and capital gains on securities issued in the relevant funds may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the countries in which each particular fund invests.


The offering documents for the investment funds contain important information summarizing the relevant risk factors pertaining to the investment or relevant funds. Please note, however, that no summary of risk factors is exhaustive, and there may be other risks that could affect your investment. For your own benefit and protection you should read the most recent offering documents (including any relevant supplements) carefully before investing. If you do not understand any point please ask for further information.


The information provided on this website is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject any of the funds described herein, ARK (including its affiliates) or any of their products or services to any registration, licensing or other authorization requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Nothing on this website shall be considered a solicitation to buy or sell a security, product or service (including advisory service) to any person.

Volatility: Why It’s Not A Bad Word

Dec 13, 2021
By ARK Invest
 

This season of ‘The Switch’, is focused on how innovation performs in times of market turmoil. In episode two, ARK Client Portfolio Manager, Ren Leggi, is joined by ETF Trends CEO, Tom Lydon, and CIO, Dave Nadig, to discuss volatility and why it’s not a bad word. In fact, Nadig believes it’s a good word. Listen in as we examine the portfolio construction process, markets spikes, and correlations between innovative technologies.

‘The Switch’

The Switch, a weekly video series created by ARK Invest, aims to correct misinformation and help investors understand ETFs and investing in innovation. Each season, we’re joined by ETF Trends and ETF Database to help us break down a specific topic so that you and your portfolio can stay on the right side of technological change.

We hope every episode delivers that “light-bulb moment” of realization and clarity, ultimately flipping The Switch!
