ARK Invest — MGT 127R Disruptive-Tech Case

Overview

Mid-quarter case opening (Week 9, Winter 2026) for MGT 127R examining ARK Invest's disruptive-technology investment strategy. Broke down ARK's thesis framework (genomics, robotics, energy storage, AI, blockchain), their concentrated-portfolio approach, and the return/volatility trade-offs of betting on exponential-technology curves. Framed the fund as an explicit wager on the S-curve adoption rate of multiple compounding innovations — and flagged where that thesis has historically cracked.
