ARKG performed the best out of the group, up 2.5%, while ARKX did the worst, up 1.4% on the day.

Many traders are looking to mirror the plays of famous investors and huge brokerage firms to capitalize on the gains that the big dogs are making. Lucky for us, ARK Invest releases a list of its trades at the end of each trading day.
