Popular money manager Cathie Wood of Ark Investment Management has seen her young-technology-stock funds hit the skids this year amid weak earnings.
Ark Innovation ETF ເຮືອທຸງຂອງ Wood (ARKK ) - ຮັບລາຍງານຟຣີ has lost 68% in 2022 and is down 81% from its February 2021 peak.
The Ark chief executive has defended her strategy by noting that she has a five-year investment horizon. But the five-year annualized return of Ark Innovation totaled a negative 2.66% through Dec. 26, against the S&P 500 ຜົນຕອບແທນທາງບວກຂອງ 9.38%.
ການປະຕິບັດຂອງກອງທຶນຍັງບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃກ້ເປົ້າຫມາຍຂອງ Wood ສໍາລັບຜົນຕອບແທນປະຈໍາປີຂອງ 15% ໃນໄລຍະຫ້າປີ.
Acknowledgement of Losses In a year-end letter to investors, Wood doesn’t apologize for her performance. But she does address it, if a bit obliquely.
“We acknowledge that a risk-off market environment has pushed investors back toward benchmarks during the last two years, disadvantaging strategies that focus on disruptive innovation,” she wrote. Wood focuses on “disruptive innovation” stocks.
“While innovation solves problems and typically gains traction during difficult times, some companies may be cutting back on research and development and other investments to build cash as a buffer against the fallout from higher interest rates,” she said.
“Fear of the future is palpable these days, but crisis historically has created opportunities.”
Wood sees a strong environment for her stocks. “According to the latest [Bank of America] Fund Manager Survey, cash levels have not been this high since the 9/11 crisis in 2001,” she said. “And investors are overweight bonds for the first time since April 2009.”
Further, “the CBOE equity put/call ratio [has] surged above 2.0, the highest level on record, surpassing the ratios in both the tech and telecom bubble [2000-01] and the global financial crisis [2008-09],” Wood said.
“In hindsight, both of those times were terrific opportunities to put funds to work in highly differentiated ways.”
Rah, Rah for Innovation And what about now? “To the extent investors have reserves of cash to put to work, Ark believes that this time will be no different and that innovation strategies will be prime beneficiaries when equity markets recover,” Wood said.
Meanwhile, Ark Innovation ETF’s subpar returns may finally be starting to push investors away. The $6.1 billion fund registered a net investment outflow of $308 million in the past month, according to ETF research firm VettaFi.
But it has still notched a $1.33 billion inflow for the year to date.
You might wonder why so many investors have stuck with Wood. The fact that she had one spectacular year certainly helps. Ark Innovation ETF skyrocketed 153% in 2020.
ນອກຈາກນີ້, Wood ໄດ້ກາຍເປັນບາງສິ່ງບາງຢ່າງຂອງດາວ Rock ໃນໂລກການລົງທຶນ, ປາກົດຢູ່ໃນສື່ມວນຊົນເລື້ອຍໆ. ນາງອະທິບາຍແນວຄວາມຄິດທາງດ້ານການເງິນໃນວິທີທີ່ນັກລົງທຶນຈົວສາມາດເຂົ້າໃຈໄດ້.
Not everyone is enamored with her. Earlier this year, Morningstar analyst Robby Greengold issued a scathing critique of Ark Innovation.
ລາວຂຽນວ່າ "ARKK ສະແດງໃຫ້ເຫັນສັນຍານຈໍານວນຫນ້ອຍຂອງການປັບປຸງການຄຸ້ມຄອງຄວາມສ່ຽງຫຼືຄວາມສາມາດໃນການຄົ້ນຫາອານາເຂດທີ່ທ້າທາຍທີ່ມັນຄົ້ນຫາຢ່າງສໍາເລັດຜົນ,"
Wood ໄດ້ຕອບໂຕ້ຈຸດຂອງ Greengold ໃນການສໍາພາດກັບ Magnifi Media ໂດຍ Tifin. "ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ວ່າມີບໍລິສັດເຊັ່ນນັ້ນ [Morningstar] ທີ່ບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຮົາເຮັດ," ນາງເວົ້າ.
