Anyone into these active managed ETFs for disruptive innovation? Thinking to dump 10% of my net worth into them and wait 10 years.

Buying innovation is more cool than just buying technology. Cool ETF

i don’t think you should worry too much about that. You wouldn’t see it. You just look at the price history can liao.

I prob be using FSMone platform. The expense ratio is 0.75%
You are not just buying any tech etf. It is beyond tech. You are buying “innovation” which other ETFs out that invest in “innovation” and not just tech?

It is also an actively managed ETF hence the higher expense ratio.

I don’t see why should one shy away from investing in an etf purely based on expense ratio, if their performance is more than sufficient to cover the high expense ratio.

By investing in this etf, you are essentially hoping that they discover the next big thing.

How you would buy a stock on the NYSE/NASDAQ?
I use IB to buy. Transfer SGD to account and do fx to USD. Usually it takes about a day for the USD funds to settle before you can trade. So, if transfer and fx today, can trade tomorrow night.
ARKK Innovation ETF
ARKW Next Generation Internet ETF
ARKF Fintech ETF
There was a slight price pullback last Friday. Useful to monitor prices tonight.
Hope this helps.

Been following ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs the past couple of months. Honestly, you can't look too much into their past performance as it's almost directly caused by TSLA, ROKU and SQ having explosive run-up within the same timeframe.

These tickers are super popular hype/growth stocks that almost everyone knows anyway. The "next big thing" might be in hidden in there down at the bottom around the 1% weightage.

IMO, if you want to go long, you'd be better off just buying the top few holdings you like and save on the fees.

One must ask... so is it coincidental that they just so happen to have TSLA, ROKU and SQ in their portfolio?

Unless we are such great individual stock picker that can identify the next big thing, might as well just put our money on someone who specifically looks at such thing.

Yes past performance is not an indication of future outcomes. But the philosophy of what this fund is about matters, i.e. they look for innovation play and not just any tech play.

Those who do not know how to stock pick should explore ARK ETFs.
Just ignore their index innovation ETFs.
