Rethinking Asset Allocation
Episode 1
Disruptive Innovation: Why Now?
Episode one breaks down why now is the time for disruptive innovation. Today, we believe the global economy is undergoing the largest technological transformation in history thanks to five innovation platforms evolving at the same time.
Episode 2
How to Identify Transformative Technologies
In episode two of The Switch, we discuss how to identify transformative technologies and what distinguishes true innovation from a passing fad.
Episode 3
Assessing the Impact of Disruptive Technologies
In episode three, we discuss how to assess the impact of disruptive technologies. Firms often box innovation into sectors, geographies, or market capitalization. At ARK, we take a different approach.
Episode 4
“Good” vs. “Bad” Deflation
In our final episode this season, Cathie, Tom, and Dave discuss deflation. While inflation remains a grave concern for investors, ARK believes greater risk lies with deflation. Cathie also weighs in on the difference between “good” and “bad” deflation, inventory build-ups, and the power of convergence.

Episode 4
Liquidity of ETFs

Passive Public Markets
Episode two focuses on passive public markets, an area that has surged over the last decade, despite being built on past success, when the idea should be to look forward.
Episode 3
Siloization of Wall Street
Episode three focuses on the siloization of Wall Street – the splitting of personnel, data, and more, into isolated units with poor communication.
Episode 4
The Closed-Off Research Mentality
Episode four focuses on the closed-off research and investment mentality – specifically the skilled people hired, who can share insight instead of withholding it.
