Is it working?
ARKK is beating the index this year: +18.0% versus +14.0%.
Why so far behind over five years? The window starts almost exactly at ARKK's peak in Feb 2021. From there it lost 81%, bottoming in Dec 2022, and it has never fully recovered — it is still 41% under that high. The index had no crash of that size.

| ARKK | +5.8% | +18.0% | +11.2% | -21.2% |
| S&P 500 (SPY) | +0.9% | +14.0% | +18.5% | +85.8% |
