The ARK Innovation and ARK Next Generation Internet ETFs have already sold 350,000 Tesla shares in September so far, worth about $266 million, and more than a million Tesla shares in the past five months. Despite the recent dump, Tesla is still their biggest holding, according to data gathered by Bloomberg.
Cathie Wood, investor and the founder, CEO and CIO of Ark Invest, an investment management firm, regularly sells some of ARK’s best performers to invest in other targets, according to Bloomberg. Wood told CNBC last year that the answer lies in Tesla’s volatile trading patterns. When the company cut its stake in the electric automaker last year, Wood told CNBC that not doing so “would not be wise portfolio management.”
Since mid-May, Tesla shares have gained about 34% in the period, Bloomberg noted.
