Wednesday saw the Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and S&P 500 tumble, hitting fresh lows for the year. ARK Funds took a beating in the session as well. ARKX performed the best out of the group, with a 2.7% loss on the day, while ARKK did the worst, down 4.0%. The gains from the past year are slowly sliding away, but Cathie Wood may have something up her sleeve, as she is constantly reshuffling her ETFs to stand up to market headwinds.

ARK Invest has been the talk of Wall Street over the past couple of years, outperforming the market and solidifying its place among the big players in the investments world.

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.
