Markets bounced back on Tuesday after it was reported that Russian troops were pulling back from the Ukraine border. ARK Funds had a fairly strong showing as well. ARKK performed the best out of the group, with a 5.5% gain on the day, while ARKX did the worst, up 3.2%. The gains from the past year are slowly sliding away, but Cathie Wood may have something up her sleeve, as she is constantly reshuffling her ETFs to stand up to market headwinds.
