          Fund Summary

          The ARK Private Innovation ELTIF is designed to provide access to some of the world’s most innovative private companies through a single regulated vehicle. The fund is structured as an Irish domiciled ELTIF 2.0 within an Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicle (ICAV).

          The strategy focuses on ARK’s five innovation platforms: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Energy Storage, Public Blockchains, and Multiomic Sequencing.

          Unlike many solutions that access coveted private companies through syndicated special purpose vehicles (SPVs), the ARK Private Innovation ELTIF will primarily invest directly into private companies (i.e. “direct to cap table”) in both primary and secondary transactions. This approach seeks to maintain “clean” ownership for investors by avoiding the management fees and carried interest typically charged by third-party SPVs.

          Investment Case

          Private-market innovators are driving some of the most powerful technology shifts now reshaping the global economy. Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Energy Storage, Public Blockchains, and Multiomic Sequencing are converging, accelerating breakthroughs and enabling new business models at scale. As leading companies stay private for longer, a large share of value creation occurs before they reach public markets (i.e. before they IPO), making access to these innovative companies increasingly important for investors seeking long-term growth exposure in their portfolios.

          Why Private Innovation?

          • Private Markets Access For All Investors
            We aim to provide retail and professional investors with access to a traditionally exclusive, private asset class.
          • Growth Potential

          • Quarterly Liquidity for Investors
            As a semi-liquid fund, the ARK Private Innovation ELTIF provides quarterly liquidity for investors. Following the initial ramp-up period, up to 5% of the Fund's net asset value (NAV) can be redeemed by investors each quarter.
          • Grounded in Research
