ARK ETF Trust - ARK DIET Q3 Buffer ETF

ARKE is an actively managed ETF aiming to provide a more tampered price return for shares of ARK Innovation ETF (ticker: ARKK), over a one-year period starting each July. The fund aims to cut the downside risk in half in exchange for a capped upside potential after a 5% performance hurdle is reached. ARKK holds US and foreign equities focused on disruptive innovation themes such as genomics, AI, robotics, and fintech. The fund holds shares of ARKK, sells at-the-money calls against the shares, buys at-the-money puts covering 50% of the fund's NAV, and buys out-of-the-money calls with any available premium in order to provide upside exposure above the 5% hurdle. All returns are before fees and expenses, which reduce overall fund returns. ARKE shareholders do not receive dividends, if any, from shares of ARKK. The strategy works best for investors willing to hold shares the entire outcome period. Outcomes will differ for those buying/selling mid-period.
