With Ark Invest ending 2024 on a strong note, the aggressive growth icon is hoping to build on that momentum in 2025.

The largest exchange-traded fund at Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest couldn’t keep up with the broader market last year, but the growth-focused investment firm found success in its other ways as investors gravitated toward certain innovations more than others.

The stock of Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financial) fell 3% on early trading on Tuesday after Cathie Wood-Ark Invest sold $15 million worth of Palantir shares, or 196,728 shares in total, across various ETFs.

Cathie Wood’s flagship Ark Innovation ETF continues to sell Tesla shares, but the value of its stake has climbed above $1 billion.

The energy storage market saw significant attention in 2024, and Ark believes the momentum will continue into 2025. As renewable energy sources become more widespread, the ability to efficiently store and manage energy is critical. Ark sees energy storage as a key area for investment, as costs continue to decrease and technology improves.

Every great investor has a different favorite sector, but two things they have in common are excellent vision and timing. It's not that they win every time, but more often than not, their instincts are proven right in the long run.
