(HKSE: 6060.HK) shares on Monday, as the price of this ETF was relatively flat on the day. Note that this ETF is still up over 100% in the last year.

ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKF) bought 1,331,781 shares of ZhongAn Online. At Monday’s closing price this would have valued this purchase at roughly $70 million in Hong Kong Dollars. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. ARKF is up 163% in the last year.
