Investors outside of the United States are subject to securities and tax regulations within their applicable jurisdictions that are not addressed on this Site. U.S. investors are advised that not all investments or services described on this Site are available for sale in all states. Any potential investor should satisfy themselves that an investment in an ARK product is permissible under the rules and regulations of their domicile. The Site is not directed to any person in any jurisdiction where (by reason of that person’s nationality, residence or otherwise) the publication or availability of the Site is prohibited.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain of the statements contained herein may be statements of future expectations, opinions, and other forward-looking statements that are based on ARK’s current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. In addition to statements which are forward-looking by reason of context, the words “may, will, should, expects, plans, intends, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, or continue” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The matters discussed herein may also involve risks and uncertainties described from time to time in ARK’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained herein.
Conflicts of Interest
As a thematic investor with an open research ecosystem, ARK and its related persons use online activity as part of its investment research process. As a result, ARK and clients as well as its related persons may (but do not necessarily) have financial interests in securities or issuers that we discuss. However, any discussion of securities or issuers by ARK is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any particular security.
Risk & Investment Warranty
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. We want to assure you that the Fund is committed to meeting its investment objective. However, like all investments, the value of your investment in the Fund and the return you receive on it may still experience fluctuations. We want to emphasize that your investment is safeguarded by SIPC insurance, ensuring that there is no loss of funds due to insolvency. In addition, in adverse situations, we provide an extra layer of protection by offering a refund of capital. While investments can still face challenges, these measures are designed to mitigate risks and provide you with confidence in your investment decisions. Please carefully review the following risks before considering an investment in the Fund. Each risk summarized below is still regarded as a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which they’re presented.
