  • Investors Withdraw $313 Million from Cathie Wood's ARKK ETF Amid Underperformance
    June 21, 2026, 7:52 PM EDT. Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) is facing significant outflows, losing $313 million in assets this year and dropping to $7.2 billion under management from a $29 billion peak. The actively managed fund has returned only 2% year-to-date, trailing the Nasdaq 100's 20% and S&P 500's 9% gains. ARKK has slumped 31% over five years while the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 surged 116% and 80%, respectively. Challenges include underperformance of top holdings, crypto sector exposure, and missing out on memory industry stocks driving major indices.
