A couple of the ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a sizable purchase on Friday. The fund bought over 125,000 shares of Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU | ROKU Price Prediction) altogether, as the price of these ETFs were relatively flat on the day. Note that these funds are up significantly in the past year.

Specifically, ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) bought 103,098 shares of Roku and ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKX) bought 25,766 shares. At Friday’s closing prices, this would have valued these purchases at roughly $44.1 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. Both ETFs are up more than 35% in the past year.
