Last year, the fund gained 35.5%, far outpacing the S&amp;P 500\u2019s return of 17.9% in the same period.<\/p>\n<p>But her style also brings painful losses in bearish markets, as seen in 2022, when the Ark Innovation ETF tumbled more than 60%.<\/p>\n<p>As of March 13, the Ark Innovation ETF was down nearly 10% year to date, while the S&amp;P 500 dropped 3%, Yahoo Finance data shows.<\/p>\n<p>Those swings have weighed on Wood\u2019s long-term gains. The Ark Innovation ETF has delivered a five-year annualized return of -11% as of writing, while the S&amp;P 500 has an annualized return of 12.6% over the same period, according to data from Morningstar.<\/p>\n<p>                        In the 12 months through March 12, the Ark Innovation ETF saw roughly $1.45 billion in net outflows.<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                    Cathie Wood repeatedly rejects \u201cAI bubble\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wood focuses on high-tech companies across artificial intelligence, blockchain, biomedical technology, and robotics. She thinks these businesses have great growth potential, though their volatility often brings fluctuations to the Ark\u2019s funds.<\/p>\n<p>From 2014 to 2024, the Ark Innovation ETF wiped out $7 billion in investor wealth, according to an analysis by Morningstar\u2019s analyst Amy Arnott. That made it the third-biggest wealth destroyer among mutual funds and ETFs in Arnott\u2019s ranking. The analyst hasn\u2019t updated the 2025 ranking.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Related: Cathie Wood shares surprising message on oil prices<\/p>\n<p>In a letter published in January, Wood says the U.S. economy is storing up energy for a sharp rebound in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite sustained real gross domestic product growth during the past three years, the underlying US economy has suffered a rolling recession and has evolved into a coiled spring that could bounce back powerfully during the next few years,&#8221; Wood wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Wood also rejects the \u201cAI bubble\u201d talk again, saying it &#8220;is years away&#8221; and &#8220;the most powerful capital spending cycle in history&#8221; is coming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What once was the cap in spending seems to have become a floor now that the AI, robotics, energy storage, blockchain technology, and multiomics sequencing platforms are ready for prime time,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Not all investors agree with Wood\u2019s optimism. In the 12 months through March 12, the Ark Innovation ETF saw roughly $1.45 billion in net outflows, according to ETF research firm VettaFi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cathie Wood buys $2 million of Tempus AI stock<\/p>\n<p>On March 11 and 12, Wood\u2019s Ark Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) bought a total of 41,906 shares of Tempus AI Inc. (TEM), valued at about $2.1 million, according to Ark\u2019s daily trade information.<\/p>\n<p>As of March 13, Tempus AI is the second-largest holding in ARKG and the fourth-largest in ARKK, accounting for roughly 9.5% and 5%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Top 10 holdings of the Ark Innovation ETF as of March 13, 2026:Tesla (TSLA) 10.57%CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) 6.07%Circle Internet Group (CRCL) 5.03%Tempus AI (TEM) 5.02%Shopify (SHOP) 4.88%Coinbase Global (COIN) 4.67%Robinhood Markets (HOOD) 4.49%Roku (ROKU) 4.06%Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) 3.82%Palantir Technologies (PLTR) 3.59%<\/p>\n<p>Tempus AI is a healthcare technology company that provides AI-driven diagnostic tools that help doctors make treatment decisions.

Revenue reached $367.2 million, beating the $363.4 million consensus estimate and rising 83% year over year.<\/p>\n<p>However, a large portion of the revenue growth came from acquisitions, which boosted the company\u2019s topline results.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The strength of our unit growth in diagnostics along with the accelerating growth of our data business is proof that we are unique in this space,&#8221; Tempus AI&#8217;s CEO Eric Lefkofsky said, adding that the company&#8217;s investments in AI &#8220;continue to compound&#8221; and is exected to &#8220;drive significant growth over the next several years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan analyst Casey Woodring lowered the price target on Tempus AI to $60 from $80 after the company\u2019s Q4 results, while maintaining a neutral rating on the stock, The Fly reported.<\/p>\n<p>Woodring said the company&#8217;s &#8220;clouded visibility&#8221; on data upside and changing expectations for Ambry, an acquired genetic testing unit, make it harder to see upside. The analyst suggests investors may want to stay on the sidelines for now.<\/p>\n<p>Wood says health care is the &#8220;most underappreciated application of AI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got 37 trillion cells in our body, and they\u2019re going to be sequenced as we\u2019re looking for cures,\u201d Wood told CNBC last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the most underappreciated application of AI is health care. I think health care is responsible for an incredible amount of storage out there right now.
