ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF(AMEX:ARKQ)

ARKQ, like many ETFs in the global technology segment, doesn't attempt to provide broad exposure to tech companies. Instead, the fund's active mandate is to identify companies that will benefit from new technologies and automation. Specifically, ARKQ's managers appear interested in specific technologies with transformative businesses in automation, energy, and artificial intelligence. Because of its thematic approach, pure-play portfolio implementation is more difficult. The fund uses its own internal research and analysis in selecting companies that capitalize on disruptive innovation that enable development in the markets they operate.
