I had to look this up. There's a venture fund you can invest in with as little as $500 as a consumer -- though it's limited to quarterly withdrawals.

The fund is invested in most of the hot tech companies.

ARK was all the rage around early pandemic time when wallstreetbets was in the news a lot. Most people probably know it from then.

ARK funds has cult like following but then again they are a typical high beta player who outperforms in hot markets and heavily underperforms in cold ones. Fees are high. The CEO (CIO) is a women who looks for investment advice in the Bible and asks God for his thoughts (I am not joking).

If anything being associated with ARK in any form is a big negative signal.
