One of the ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a sizable purchase on Wednesday. The fund bought over 130,000 shares of Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX | RBLX Price Prediction), as the price of this ETF was relatively flat on the day. Note that this fund is still up significantly in the past year.

Specifically, ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) bought 134,250 shares of Roblox. At Wednesday’s closing price, this would have valued this purchase at roughly $1.1 million. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. The fund is up 74% in the past year.
