ARKX (ARK Space & Defense Innovation ETF) is an actively managed thematic equity ETF seeking long‑term capital growth by investing primarily in domestic and foreign companies engaged in space and defense innovation. The fund targets firms that lead, enable, or benefit from technologies beyond the Earth’s surface—such as satellites, reusable rockets, suborbital and orbital aerospace platforms—as well as dual‑use defense technologies that have both military and civilian applications. ARK emphasizes disruptive innovation across areas including autonomous mobility, intelligent devices, advanced battery technologies, 3D printing, adaptive robotics, neural networks, AI‑enabled defense platforms, and space‑based intelligence and communications. The rationale is that declining launch and satellite costs, proliferation of low‑Earth‑orbit constellations, and rising geopolitical focus on technological superiority will expand the space and defense opportunity set. Through high‑conviction, unconstrained active management (roughly 30–35 holdings), ARKX aims to concentrate in emerging and incumbent innovators that are positioned to benefit most from these structural, long‑term trends, providing differentiated exposure versus traditional aerospace and defense index funds. citeturn0search1turn0search3turn0search5turn0search10
