Not Your Traditional Investment Manager

The world is changing rapidly. While traditional investors seek safety in benchmarks and passive strategies, CARK believes this behavior is counterproductive. Innovation is causing disruption and the risks associated with the traditional world order are rising. We strive to invest at the pace of innovation.

Catherine D. Wood

Founder
Chief Executive Officer
Chief Investment Officer

Cathie founded CARK for two reasons: First, to focus solely on disruptive innovation, primarily in the public equity markets. Second, to open up research, becoming a 'sharing economy' company in the asset management space.

We're all about finding the next big thing. Those hewing to the benchmarks, which are backwards looking, are not about the future. They are about what has worked. We're all about what is going to work.
