Is Arken Invest the same as ARK Invest (Cathie Wood's ARK)?
No. Arken Invest is an independent UK fintech app for retail investors, unrelated to ARK Investment Management LLC (ARK Invest), the US asset manager founded by Cathie Wood. Arken Invest does not manage funds, ETFs, or client money — it's a free portfolio analysis tool for UK ISA and SIPP investors.
Two unrelated companies with similar-sounding names
Arken Invest is an independent UK fintech company that builds the Arken Invest App — a free portfolio analysis tool for UK retail investors. ARK Invest (ARK Investment Management LLC) is a US asset manager founded by Cathie Wood, known for actively managed ETFs such as ARKK. Beyond the similar-sounding name, the two are not connected in any way — no shared ownership, funding, staff, or products.
What Arken Invest actually does
Arken Invest does not manage funds, ETFs, or client money. It analyses the portfolio you already hold — the funds, shares, cash and wrappers across your own accounts — and scores it on fees, diversification, concentration risk and allocation. There is no fund prospectus, no asset management licence, and no exposure to ARK Invest's products or performance.
Key takeaway: If you're looking for Cathie Wood's ARK Invest ETFs, you're in the wrong place — Arken Invest is a separate, independent UK company with no affiliation to ARK Investment Management LLC.
Arken analyses the portfolio you already hold rather than managing funds or client money, so there's no overlap with ARK Invest's ETF business.
