A few ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made huge sales on Thursday. Specifically, these ETFs sold roughly $41 million worth of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction), as the prices of these funds were up less than 1% on Thursday. Note though that they are up a fair amount in the past year.

ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) sold 35,520 shares of Tesla, ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKQ) sold 4,422 shares and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) sold 6,472 shares. At Thursday’s closing prices, this would have valued the sales at roughly $41.5 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of their total holdings, every little bit counts. These are funds are each up between 24% and 35% in the past year.
