ARK DIET Q2 Buffer ETF

ARK DIET Q2 Buffer ETF is an actively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer capital appreciation linked to the performance of the ARK Disruptive Innovation ETF (ARKK) while providing a measure of downside protection over a defined 12-month outcome period. It limits downside participation to approximately 50% of any decline in ARKK's net asset value from the start of each period, helping to cushion losses during market downturns. For upside potential, the fund incorporates a predefined hurdle rate of about 5%, meaning it captures no return if ARKK's gains fall between 0% and 5%, but then provides significant participation, around 63%, in gains beyond that threshold. This buffered structure uses options strategies to reshape ARKK's return profile, targeting reduced volatility for investors seeking exposure to disruptive innovation themes such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous technology without full downside risk. Launched in 2026 and headquartered in the United States, the ARK DIET Q2 Buffer ETF fits into portfolios as a tactical tool for controlled innovation exposure, particularly during periods of heightened uncertainty, with quarterly resets to align with rolling outcome periods.
