Over longer horizons, the fund has delivered a 1-year return of 25.80%, matching the category median, and a 3-year return of 121.96%. Despite this strong multi-year record, the rating was recently upgraded from D to C on August 7, 2026.

With a beta of 1.76, the fund exhibits significant sensitivity to market movements, amplifying overall market fluctuations. Annualized volatility stands at 35.11%, a level classified as Very High, underscoring the erratic nature of its price action. A maximum drawdown of -30.76% highlights the substantial peak-to-trough losses experienced during downturns. The Sharpe ratio of 0.59 suggests that risk-adjusted returns have been modest relative to the high volatility. Liquidity is moderate, with an average daily volume of 127,941 shares and a bid-ask spread of 3.25%.

ARKQ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 3.25% and average daily volume is 128K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $1.92B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: ARKQ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
