- Sustainability Innovation: Companies in this sector have a significant environmental impact, focusing on renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable food systems, and the circular economy, contributing to a more sustainable future.
"We are thrilled to partner with eToro to launch a new model portfolio centered around three key areas that we believe are poised for transformative growth. As more investors globally gain access to ETFs through digital platforms, this collaboration allows us to share some of our best ideas with eToro's 38 million retail investors," said Cathie Wood, Founder and CEO of ARK Invest.
"Over the past few months, we have been developing model portfolio solutions tailored for European investors. The ARK-FutureFirst portfolio reflects both innovative and sustainable themes, and we look forward to further partnerships with platforms like eToro that share our vision for future-focused investment solutions," added James Thomas, Head of European Sales at ARK Invest.
The ARK-FutureFirst portfolio is available to retail investors on the eToro platform with an initial investment starting from $500. The portfolio offers a passive investment approach by combining several ETFs under a specific methodology to ensure long-term exposure to key market trends.
