Episode notes
ARK ETFs and Market Influence
- Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs, focused on illiquid tech stocks, might be influencing market prices.
- Their large holdings and potential redemptions pose a systemic risk, similar to Janus in the dot-com era.
Using 13F Filings
- Use 13F filings as a screening tool, but do your own research to develop conviction.
- Be mindful of portfolio turnover and focus on managers with long-term holding strategies.
13F Conviction and Position Size
- The largest holdings in a 13F filing may not be the most insightful.
- Smaller positions often reflect higher conviction and potential.
