You should carefully consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other important information about a Fund, which can be obtained by clicking the corresponding link or dialing the indicated phone number herein.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

You should be aware that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Please note that the price of units or shares and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Income receivable may vary from the amount of income projected at the time of making the investment.

Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the value of an investment and any income derived from it. If you exercise any right to redeem, you may not get back the amount initially invested if the unit or share price has fallen since you invested. Deductions for charges and expenses, particularly the initial charge (if any), are not made uniformly throughout the life of the investment, so if you redeem out of the investment during the early years, you may not get back the amount invested.

There can be no guarantee that the tax position or proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment will not change. Dividends and capital gains on securities issued in the relevant funds may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the countries in which each particular fund invests.

The offering documents for the investment funds contain important information summarizing the relevant risk factors pertaining to the investment or relevant funds. Please note, however, that no summary of risk factors is exhaustive, and there may be other risks that could affect your investment. For your own benefit and protection you should read the most recent offering documents (including any relevant supplements) carefully before investing. If you do not understand any point please ask for further information.

The information provided on this website is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject any of the funds described herein, ARK (including its affiliates) or any of their products or services to any registration, licensing or other authorization requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Nothing on this website shall be considered a solicitation to buy or sell a security, product or service (including advisory service) to any person.

ARK's Venture Philosophy

After years in the public equity markets, ARK is excited to leverage its differentiated research on disruptive innovation in the private markets.

Eligible For All U.S. Investors
We aim to provide all investors, accredited and non-accredited, access to a traditionally exclusive, private asset class with as little as $500.
Cost-Effective Alternative
We believe our single 2.75% management fee is more cost-effective than a traditional ”2 and 20” fee structure (2% management fee, 20% carried interest).
Liquidity For An Illiquid Asset Class
Unlike traditional VC funds which lock capital up for years, ARK’s evergreen public-private crossover fund offers clients partial liquidity through quarterly redemptions.

Learn More About The ARK Venture Fund

Investing in innovation from early stage through mega cap

The ARK Venture Fund seeks to democratize venture capital, offering all investors access to what we believe are the most innovative companies throughout their private and public market lifecycles.

As of March 31, 2023, the ARK Venture Fund will have reduced expenses thanks to its Expense Limitation Agreement with ARK Investment Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). This means that the fund’s management fee and operating expenses may be waived or reimbursed by the Adviser if they exceed 2.90%, which will result in lower expenses for the Fund. Additionally, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reimburse the Fund money to ensure that all existing investors will also benefit from reduced Fund expenses. Finally, the Fund’s Distribution and Service Plan has been amended to reduce the compensation paid to the Distributor.

We anticipate early-stage opportunities to represent 0-25% of the fund while late-stage private opportunities represent 50-80%.

Unlike traditional venture capital funds, our fund is open to investors regardless of accreditation or qualification. In addition, the Fund offers 5% liquidity on a quarterly basis, so investors are not locked up for longer periods like in traditional venture capital funds.

We believe our differentiated value proposition combined with our network of co-investors, public companies, founders, and academics provides access to the most promising private technology companies.

We believe our single 2.75% management fee is more cost-effective than traditional venture capital funds under the ”2 and 20” model (2% management fee, 20% carried interest).

We actively source deals from our network of co-investors, public companies, founders, and academics. Additionally, our Analysts identify potential investment targets.

Companies go through a rigorous due diligence process, including discussions with the company, reference calls, financial modeling and are being scored on ARK’s proprietary five scores, people management and culture, product leadership, barriers of entry, ability to execute and thesis risk.

Investors can request redemptions on a quarterly basis. Up to 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares can be redeemed every quarter.

The ARK Venture Fund is not currently available to international investors on the Titan platform. The fund continues to investigate platforms that can accommodate international investors. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

The ARK Venture Fund has the ability to hold public companies, and therefore can hold companies after initial public offering (IPO).

We believe all investors should have access to venture capital, cutting-edge research, impactful education, and a phenomenal user experience. Self-directed investors can download the SoFi or Titan app and get started today.
