Rebalancing Holdings

Also, in terms of financial value, this sale ended up being Ark’s biggest dollar-value transaction of the day. This shift is part of Ark Invest’s ongoing strategy to rebalance its holdings toward industries with strong potential for future development, such as biotechnology and technology.
