+340.6% in total, which works out to +16.0% a year over the 10 years to 2026-09-29. Both figures assume dividends were reinvested and the fund's own fees were already deducted, so they are what an investor would have kept — before tax.
2022 — its calendar-year return was -67.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2020 (+152.8%).
-81.0%, from a peak on 2021-02-12 to a trough on 2022-12-28. As of 2026-09-29 it had not climbed back to that earlier peak.
It does not say ARKK is a good or bad fund, and it is not a forecast. Returns above are history: they already include dividends and already exclude the fund's own fees. A drawdown of -81.0% means an investor who bought at the peak would have watched that much value disappear before it recovered — how long that takes is the part most tables leave out.
