Here’s a detailed breakdown of the recent filings:
Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has been making adjustments to its portfolio, trimming holdings in both chipmakers and Coinbase.
Chipmakers:
- Ark Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF sold shares of TSMC (first sale since late 2021) and Nvidia.
- This follows Ark's ongoing portfolio rebalancing as chip stock prices surge (Nvidia up 59% and TSMC up 25% year-to-date).
- Ark still holds around 221,848 shares of TSMC.
- Previously, Cathie Wood was bullish on AI, investing in software companies like UiPath and Twilio instead of chipmakers.
- Due to recent price increases, both TSMC and Nvidia have fallen out of the fund's top 10 holdings.
Coinbase:
- Ark Invest sold a total of 96,435 Coinbase shares ($16 million) across three ETFs in the past week.
- This is part of Ark's strategy to rebalance fund weightings despite a recent 30% surge in Coinbase's price.
- Coinbase stock remains down over 50% from its all-time high, though it's up 160% in the past year.
Overall, these sales indicate that Ark Invest is adjusting its portfolio to reflect current market conditions and its long-term investment strategies.
