ETF star bets against Cathie Wood’s ARK funds

Tuttle Capital Management CEO: It seemed like a no-brainer given the macro environment, launch the product'

Tuttle Capital Management (TCM) CEO and CIO Matthew Tuttle says he is betting against Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation ETF.

Ticker Security Last Change Change %
SARK INVESTMENT MANAGERS SERIES TR II AXS SHORT INNOVATION DAILY 31.21 +0.85 +2.80%
ARKK ARK ETF TRUST INNOVATION ETF 42.91 -1.24 -2.81%

Tuttle is taking a different approach with his short-term ETF, receiving the attention of investors during this year's market turbulence. The anti-ARKK ETF, under the ticker SARK, is up 82% since November.

TCM says the exchange traded fund "attempts to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the return of the ARK Innovation ETF for a single day, not for any other period."

Matthew Tuttle tells FOX Business that investors' focus should be on "energy stocks, commodity-based stocks, and a lot of cash."

After beating much of the U.S. market in 2020, Wood's flagship fund has struggled to maintain the performance. The ETF is approaching a two-year low, facing pressure from high inflation and the Federal Reserve's tightening monetary policy.

"We knew that it had gone up so far, that there was a potential for a pretty big drop. Certainly there was also a lot of demand to short it," Tuttle explained to FOX Business. "It seemed like a no-brainer given the macro environment, launch the product."
