Inside the $2.5B internet fund dominating the stock market
ARKW is now up 85% this year
ARKW no longer features Apple stock
Below you’ll find two donut charts. On the left is ARKW’s portfolio as of June 18, and on the right is its holdings on September 30. If they don’t show, try reloading this page in your browser’s “Desktop Mode.”
At first glance, it’s clear ARKWfirmly believes in Tesla(still its largest holding), but there’s a few more changes worth noting.
For one, there’s no more Apple; ARKW held $20.6 million worth of Apple shares in June, and now it has none. Also gone is ecommerce prince Shopify, human capitalists Workday, cloud computers VMWare, Chinese marketplace Pinduoduo, and analytical Alteryx, which together made up more than $46 million (or 4.12%) of the fund’s portfolio.

There’s also nine entirely new additions: Taiwan Semiconductors ($27.7M), Nintendo ($27M), Adyen ($26.2M), Unity Software ($25.4M), DocuSign ($24.1M), JD.com ($24.1 million), Intercontinental Exchange ($22.5M), Wix.com ($10.6 million), and Social Capital Hedosophia ($3.8M).
ARK’s position in those companies is worth $191.4 million, equalling 7.8% of ARKW’s current portfolio. The fund’s new stakes in Nintendo, Adyen, and Unity Software were some of the fund’s biggest plays last quarter.
Teladoc Health, Slack, and Tesla mean more than ever for ARK
After comparing the weight of each holding over the past three months, we see exactly where ARKW is looking next. Use the toggle below to sort portfolio changes by dollar value, weight, or share count.
ARKW positions that grew the most in terms of portfolio weight are telemedicine play Teladoc Health (1.66%), workflowers Slack (1.4%), and electric lord Tesla (1.23%), followed by China’s Sea (1.18%), Taiwan Semiconductors (1.13%), Nintendo (1.1%), Spotify (1.08%), and Adyen (1.07%).
The real trick for ARK (as always for Wall Street insiders) is to maintain this growth. Returning 85% over nine months is impressive — even more-so during global economic chaos.
Wall Street will surely be watching to see if ARK sticks the landing, no doubt to be riddled with jealously if it does.
