ARK Innovation (NYSE:ARKK), the fund founded by Cathie Wood, is on track to report its first monthly rise in eight months in July.
The rise is on the back of a slight recovery in stocks after a significant downturn that hit tech stocks this year. The recent rise is due to investors believing the Fed may not be as hawkish as expected.
According to Reuters, ARK Innovation has gained 11.3% in July despite declining Friday. The ARK gain has been boosted by a 27% increase in the top holding Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) share price during the month.
Wood's fund saw tremendous gains during the pandemic as stocks such as Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC), Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ:ZM) Inc, and Tesla soared.
However, Reuters stated ARK is still down 53% in 2022, with the Fed's aggressive rate hikes weighing on Wood's preferred companies, many of which are comparatively young or unprofitable.
