ARK Invest ETF Tracker 2026: Beyond ARKK — Tracking 21 Active ETFs

ARK Invest ETF Tracker 2026: The Platform That Goes Beyond Cathie Wood

Most ARK Invest trackers monitor the same 6 ETFs: ARKK, ARKG, ARKW, ARKQ, ARKF, and ARKX. Meridian tracks 21 active ETFs across 3 providers, including 8 Amplify ETFs and 7 GlobalX funds that most retail tracking platforms completely ignore. Because these are actively managed funds, each publishes daily holdings disclosures — Meridian surfaces the position adds, trims, and weight changes across all 21 in one feed. This guide explains what Meridian's ARK ETF tracker covers, what it surfaces, and how to work with active ETF disclosures in 2026.

What Most ARK Trackers Miss

The Cathie Wood brand is synonymous with active ETF investing, but focusing exclusively on ARK's 6 funds creates a significant blind spot. The active ETF space has grown substantially, with dozens of providers running systematic and discretionary active strategies that generate daily trade disclosures under SEC rules.

The 6-ETF Problem

Most tracking platforms cover only:

• ARKK (ARK Innovation ETF)
• ARKG (ARK Genomic Revolution ETF)
• ARKW (ARK Next Generation Internet ETF)
• ARKQ (ARK Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF)
• ARKF (ARK Fintech Innovation ETF)
• ARKX (ARK Space Exploration and Innovation ETF)

This covers ARK's public equity active funds but misses:

• ARK's newer and less publicized strategies
• Amplify ETFs, which runs systematic momentum and theme strategies
• GlobalX, which operates active and semi-active thematic ETFs
• Any convergence analysis with other signal sources

All 21 ETFs Tracked by Meridian

ARK Invest (6 ETFs)

Meridian surfaces daily holdings changes and position-weight shifts for each ARK fund.

Each ARK fund publishes a daily trade file after market close; Meridian parses these into a normalized feed of new positions, exits, and position-weight moves.

Amplify ETFs (8 ETFs Tracked)

Amplify runs systematic thematic strategies with quantitative position management. Because its rebalancing is rules-based, its trade files show recurring, analyzable adjustment patterns that Meridian normalizes alongside ARK's.

Meridian surfaces Amplify's systematic weight-momentum adjustments so you can see which themes the funds are rotating into or out of.

GlobalX (7 ETFs Tracked)

GlobalX operates both passive thematic ETFs and actively managed strategies. Meridian tracks the active and semi-active strategies where daily trade disclosures provide signal data.

ARK vs. Amplify: Two Different Trade-Generation Styles

How ARK's Disclosures Behave

ARK runs a discretionary, high-conviction strategy, and its daily trade files reflect that. When you watch the raw disclosures, a few structural characteristics stand out:

What the ARK feed shows:

• A large share of daily activity is mechanical rebalancing to maintain target weights, not fresh position initiations
• Positions are highly concentrated, so a handful of names drive most of each fund's day-to-day movement
• The funds hold high-volatility growth names, so holdings values swing sharply with the broader growth-stock market

Why raw ARK disclosures need context, not blind following:

1. Most trades are mechanical rebalancing to maintain target weights, not fresh investment theses
2. ARK's positions are widely known and its trade files are public, so any information edge is quickly competed away
3. Heavy portfolio concentration means a few positions dominate the fund's behavior
4. The funds' high-volatility names track overall market direction closely

How Amplify's Disclosures Behave

Amplify's quantitative weight-momentum approach produces a different disclosure pattern than ARK's discretionary conviction model:

• Rules-based position sizing produces regular, repeatable rebalancing steps
• Systematic rebalancing creates predictable, analyzable trade patterns
• Individual position swings tend to be smaller than ARK's concentrated bets

Meridian normalizes both styles into the same feed so you can compare what each provider is actually doing day to day, rather than relying on the headline brand.

ETF-Level View: What Each ARK Fund Is Doing

Reading the ARK Funds

The six ARK funds differ in theme, concentration, and how much of their daily activity is rebalancing versus new theses:

Practical implication: Treat the disclosures as a map of what a well-known active manager is buying and selling — useful context and a starting point for research, not a standalone buy trigger. Because ARKK, ARKF, and ARKW overlap heavily, watching all three adds less independent information than it appears.

Market Regime Context: Growth-Stock Sensitivity

ARK's funds hold concentrated positions in high-volatility growth names, so their holdings values are strongly tied to the growth-stock cycle. In strong growth recoveries the funds tend to move up sharply; in bear markets and corrections they tend to fall harder than the broad market. This is the behavior of high-beta, growth-tilted exposure — useful to understand when interpreting what the daily disclosures mean, and a reason to read them as thematic positioning rather than as a market-timing signal.

How Meridian Uses Active ETF Data

Signal Context

Meridian treats active ETF disclosures as one input among many rather than as a claim about returns. How it combines them with the other inputs is not published. The tracker distinguishes:

Confluence with Other Sources

The most useful role for ARK disclosures is as a confluence layer — a cross-check against other independent sources rather than a standalone signal:

• When both ARK and Congress buy the same ticker within a short window: two independent disclosure trails point at the same name, worth a closer look
• When an ARK buy coincides with a dark pool block-trade anomaly: possible concurrent institutional activity
• When an ARK buy follows insider purchases: possible thesis convergence between corporate insiders and thematic investors

Meridian tracks these convergence moments across all 21 active ETFs in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many ETFs does ARK Invest actually manage?
A: ARK manages 6 active public equity ETFs (ARKK, ARKG, ARKW, ARKQ, ARKF, ARKX) plus venture capital and private strategies. Most trackers cover only these 6. Meridian tracks 21 active ETFs across ARK, Amplify, and GlobalX.

Q: What is the best ARK ETF to follow for trading signals?
A: There is no single "best" fund to follow blindly. ARKK is the most-watched flagship, while ARKF and ARKW overlap heavily with it, so watching all three adds little independent information. ARKQ and ARKX cover distinct themes (autonomous tech and space), and ARKG carries the highest single-name risk. Meridian surfaces the daily disclosures for all six so you can decide which themes are relevant to your own research.

Q: Has ARK Invest outperformed the S&P 500?
A: ARK's funds are concentrated, high-volatility growth vehicles, so their relative performance swings widely with the growth-stock cycle. ARKK peaked in February 2021 and has not returned to those levels since. The returns that made ARK famous were concentrated in the 2020 growth stock boom. Meridian does not publish its own return claims for ARK; it surfaces the underlying disclosures so you can evaluate positioning yourself.

Q: Is Cathie Wood a good stock picker?
A: That is a judgment each investor has to make. What Meridian provides is the raw record of what ARK's funds are buying and selling each day, so you can form your own view rather than rely on brand reputation. ARK runs a concentrated, high-conviction, high-volatility strategy — the disclosures reflect thematic positioning and frequent rebalancing, which is context to interpret rather than a verdict on skill.

Q: What is the Amplify weight momentum strategy?
A: Amplify's systematic momentum strategy uses rules-based position sizing to rotate thematic ETF holdings according to momentum factors, rather than discretionary, narrative-driven decisions. Because the rebalancing is systematic, its trade files show regular, repeatable patterns. Meridian surfaces these adjustments so you can see which themes Amplify's funds are rotating into or out of.

Q: Can I track ARK trades in real-time?
A: ARK publishes its daily trade files every evening after market close. Meridian processes these files as soon as they are published and sends alerts for new positions or significant changes. This is the fastest legally available method for monitoring ARK trade activity.

Q: Does Meridian track ARK's private investments?
A: No. Meridian tracks only ARK's public equity ETFs where daily trade disclosures are required by the SEC. ARK's private portfolio companies and venture investments are not subject to the same disclosure requirements.
