ARK Invest — Cathie Wood
An SEC-regulated ETF with a daily-priced NAV is the most verifiable record format there is; the minus reflects that the headline story depends entirely on the start date you choose on that record.

Closelook Rating v1 — Mixed
Scored on the NAV-verified series (ARKK, 2022-10-03 → 2026-11-11), not the person. Evidence length dampens short windows; the verifiability basis caps the score at 100. Published-method opinion over sourced facts — the full formula. A diary lens, not advice.

The Closelook read
The most transparent large active record in the catalogue — a regulated ETF with daily NAV and next-day trade disclosure — and the clearest case study in how the same record tells opposite stories depending on the window you cut.
ARK is in this catalogue for two reasons. First, the format: a regulated ETF with daily published NAV and full next-day trade disclosure is a stronger verification standard than any copy-trading platform offers. Second, the lesson: from inception the record is respectable, from January 2020 it is spectacular, from February 2021 it is an 80% drawdown. All three are the same record. That is why this catalogue grades verifiability and dates every figure instead of ranking returns.
