What you're really investing in with private equity.

Examples from our funds' portfolio companies

possibilities

More opportunities away from the stock market.

Private equity means investing in unlisted companies to promote their growth and benefit from their increase in value. This gives you access to a significant and large part of the economy, as 88% of the largest companies worldwide are not listed on the stock exchange.

Private equity surpasses the public market.

Historically, private equity has delivered impressive returns. Our analysis shows that an investment of €10,000 in 2004 in private equity would have grown 18 times by the end of 2024, while an investment in global equities would only have quadrupled.

In comparison: private equity vs. global equities (2004—2024) with an initial investment of 10,000€ in the respective asset class

Commissions, costs and fees can significantly influence the performance of investments in some cases.
01.10.2019-30.09.2020: Private Equity: +18.24% | Global equities: +8.59%
The costs and their effects on the performance of a financial instrument should therefore always be considered before making an investment decision.

What Cathie Wood and ARK have already achieved.

The new product at NAO is based on a strategy that ARK first set up in the USA under the leadership of Cathie Wood. Find out more about who is behind the product.

Expertise with the
US strategy.

ARK's US venture fund was launched in September 2022. Since then, the fund has grown to a volume of over 500 million US dollars. The fund has invested several times in OpenAI, SpaceX and xAI, among others.

access to
technology leaders.

In the US Fund, ARK has active investments in over 60 companies — including private and listed technology leaders. ARK usually invests directly in the companies, without many intermediaries. In this way, the structure remains clear and additional fee levels are avoided.

An investor with clear convictions.

Cathie Wood relied on companies such as Tesla, Bitcoin, Zoom and Nvidia early on and with great conviction — long before they became mainstream. It is precisely this way of thinking that shapes how ARK today searches for innovations and invests in growth companies.
