swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a recap of our discussion with ARK:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are unprofitable high-growth companies a cause for worry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the questions raised during the webinar was the outlook for high-growth but unprofitable companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renato clarified that not all unprofitable innovation companies are the same. Some choose to be unprofitable as they\u2019re spending strategically in research and development (R&amp;D), or making targeted acquisitions that give them a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to his earlier Tesla example, he noted that Tesla wasn\u2019t profitable at the start too. They invested heavily in electric vehicles (EVs) back when most people thought EVs were going to be a niche product. But today, Tesla is one of the world&#8217;s most valuable companies by market cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renato reassured the audience that although many companies held in ARK\u2019s flagship disruption innovation fund may be unprofitable at the moment, they are free cash flow positive. These companies, such as those in the genomic space, have almost two-years worth of cash and are in a strong position to dial up R&amp;D in order to scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese companies are becoming more attractive from a valuation standpoint by setting themselves up for a kind of asymmetric upside opportunity once the market shifts back into the favour of growth investing,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you see as the biggest risks to ARK\u2019s innovation strategy?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest risks we see out there would be the fact that [innovation] companies are [now] so cheap and they could become targets for acquisitions\u201d, Renato answered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cited genomic diagnostic company Vitae as an example. Vitae, widely seen as the Amazon of genomic testing, has seen its valuation drop from $60 a share to under $3 a share.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe risk is that they get acquired at $10 a share and [although that] may seem like we\u2019re getting a 4x premium, that\u2019s limiting their upside potential and we don\u2019t want to see these companies become acquisition targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, ARK has been closely aligning with management teams to fend off potential acquisitions at much lower valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What would the future of investing in innovation look like?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renato noted that ARK\u2019s valuation metric is based on a 15% hurdle rate annualised over a five-year period. Most companies in their portfolio, given the recent drawdown, are well above that in terms of ARK\u2019s expectation over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ARK&#8217;s innovation investing strategy is likewise shifting. They&#8217;ve started to reduce that exposure and have been consolidating companies into higher conviction names. For example, they exited Palantir but increased their stake in Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoom is now the top holding in ARK Innovation ETF. According to Renato, Zoom is no longer a \u201cstay-at-home\u201d stock. As hybrid work becomes commonplace, they\u2019re seeing more enterprise usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that the quality of calls on Zoom is better, Zoom is also taking away market share from Microsoft and Google\u2019s virtual communication platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is ARK most excited about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited about all of them,\u201d Renato exclaimed when asked the question. The ARK team\u2019s Big Ideas report highlights 14 technologies they\u2019re bullish about in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ideas he shared were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI could automate the tasks of workers and boost productivity while significantly lowering unit labour costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/YB-3zoxuQTo70Ao_xNEEDeOI_yKLvUbL_E3RVuH0h6g883DGyWjnnhTtxy5O2hImdVnz2SCogcfg0IJVqiGnz8-xSASrOhNL7l39WrqF1XIV8pd3pAKexAH_4UOv4ikJ6NX6d61Cr2VLCTsYsGg.png\" alt=\"Innovation investing\"\/><figcaption>Image: ARK Invest Annual Research Report 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genomics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/the-healthcare-sector-5-things-to-know\/\">Breakthroughs in gene editing are accelerating<\/a>; ARK\u2019s genomics team comes from top cancer research institutions and leading academic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/q94NlL6eSTpZ7nN_pADyY2wwJyc2ZGSU_0C0a58lmuMIjUCKyFURWh180TT4DLOL2Y9LamPBOwubUUvRnNGewDd1E2gcJnCkQNgWOiPAJR5NLEBazu4ostwUrTpSWF_Gz9bdq4Zy38sz-_jwk8A.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image: ARK Invest Annual Research Report 2022<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Metaverse, blockchain and web3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blockchain technologies enable the ownership of digital assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we think of digital asset ownership, we think of property rights essentially and as we have seen historically, as you improve property rights in countries, you improve economic stability and growth of these nations and we are doing that virtually now\u201d, Renato explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CNuTB4ON7b8xm_lpuCnnCoh2VFr1Vp08d0eMo81KNpIHwgxl40GBNyvztM35jf4FZGeDR2SqTCNfV65Al27D9efW1u41C3BagE4oklVmyaKc_KeEXJyDR85vL_ofxLYUs5TWoDXv7p5Nj3_bRPc.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"354\"\/><figcaption><em>Image: ARK Invest Annual Research Report 2022<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Innovation solves problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Underpinning their Big Ideas are five innovation platforms that ARK has identified. They estimate these platforms &#8211; DNA sequencing, energy storage, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/blockchain-vwra-voo-ucits-more-new-etfs-added-to-syfe-select\/\">blockchain technology<\/a> &#8211; will create over $200 trillion dollars worth of business value and wealth creation by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renato noted that these innovation platforms served as solutions to many problems we faced during the pandemic. For instance, advances in DNA sequencing meant that the COVID-19 virus genome was sequenced in a matter of days. This enabled scientists to create a vaccine in under a year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, robotics and automation made it faster and more efficient to do work remotely. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of such technologies, and these trends are here to stay for the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traditional industries could be disrupted&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Renato believes that \u201chaving an allocation to innovation is very important\u201d in the long run. Investors in traditional benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 could face \u201ca lot of risks\u201d in the sense that companies that dominate broad-based indices today are becoming more vulnerable to disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gave the example of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/top-10-on-syfe-trade-what-to-know-about-the-stocks-etfs-that-investors-are-snapping-up\/\">Tesla<\/a> as a company that has upended the traditional auto industry by shrinking the demand for petrol cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next five years, roughly half of all S&amp;P 500 companies could be disrupted, he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Syfe can help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see the long-term potential of investing in innovation, Syfe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/theme-detail\/?type=DISRUPTIVE_TECHNOLOGY\">Disruptive Technology<\/a> portfolio is a ready-made portfolio of innovative companies you can consider.
