Wood's flagship Ark Innovation has slid 34% over the past year and 74% from its February 2021 peak.
On the buy side, Ark funds purchased stock of retail host Shopify (SHOP) for the second day in a row. It was 125,506 shares, valued at $5.5 million as of Friday’s close.
Wood was likely trying to benefit from Shopify’s 34% drop over the past year amid the slowdown in growth for e-commerce, as the pandemic has wound down.
To be sure, the stock has rebounded 26% year to date amid the bounce in technology stocks. It’s the eighth biggest holding in Wood’s flagship Ark Innovation ETF.
