A couple of ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a huge sale on Tuesday. Specifically, these funds sold over $66 million worth of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA | TS Price Prediction) altogether, as the prices of these funds were down around 1% on Tuesday. Note though that they are up a fair amount in the past year.

ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) sold 70,369 shares of Tesla, and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) sold 18,555 shares. At Tuesday’s closing prices, this would have valued the sales at roughly $66 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of their total holdings, every little bit counts. The innovation ETF is up 33% in the past year, and the internet ETF is up 44%.
