A couple of ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood bought over 350,000 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD | HOOD Price Prediction) altogether on Thursday, as the prices of these ETFs were up less than 1% in Thursday’s session. These funds are up a fair amount in the past year.

ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKF) bought 325,289 shares of Robinhood, and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) added 25,322 shares. At Thursday’s closing price, this would have valued these purchases at roughly $14.7 million altogether. This is only a small fraction of the total holdings.
