Fees and Compensation
The following information describes ARK’s compensation for the advisory services it provides to each
type of client account, including management fees (“Management Fees”) and other fees and expenses.
ARK ETFs
In accordance with the Supervision Agreement, each ARK ETF pays an annual Management Fee in return
for providing investment management and supervisory services (including the provision of all services
typically needed for the operation of the ARK ETF) under a comprehensive unitary fee structure. The
unitary fee structure allows each ARK ETF to pay for the advisory, supervisory, administrative, custody
and other services they require under what is essentially an all-in fee structure. However, each ARK ETF
bears other expenses that are not covered under the Supervision Agreement (i.e., that are not included
in the Management Fee) that can vary and will affect the total level of expenses paid by each ARK ETF.
Those expenses include taxes and governmental fees, certain transaction expenses, certain custodial
fees and expenses, costs of borrowing money (including interest expenses), and extraordinary expenses
(such as litigation and indemnification expenses), as well as various fees and expenses relating to
regulatory reporting and filings, and preparing and sending reports to shareholders.
Actively Managed ETFs. The annual Management Fee of 0.75% for each of the six actively
managed ETFs is paid to ARK monthly in arrears based on the average daily net assets of each
ARK ETF. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the annual investment advisory fee payable to
ARK by each ARK ETF, which fee is included within the Management Fee, is 0.55% of average
daily net assets of each ARK ETF.
Index ETFs. The annual Management Fee for the two current index ARK ETFs are 0.48% for
the ARK Israel Innovative Technology ETF and 0.65% for The 3D Printing ETF, and each
Management Fee is paid to ARK monthly in arrears based on the average daily net assets of
each ARK ETF. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the annual investment advisory fee payable
to ARK by each of these index ARK ETFs, which fee is included within the Management Fee, is
0.30% of average daily net assets of each ARK ETF. The ARK Israel Innovative Technology ETF
and The 3D Printing ETF are also charged an additional 0.01% to cover foreign custodial fees
and expenses.
DIET Buffer ETFs. The annual Management Fee of 0.69% for each of the four actively managed
ETFs is paid to ARK monthly in arrears based on the average daily net assets of each DIET
Buffer ETF subject to certain waivers of its management fee payable by each fund in an account
equal to the investment advisory fee portion of the management fee it earns as an investment
advisor to the affiliated fund(s) in which the fund invests.
Additional information about the fees charged to the ARK ETFs is available in the ARK ETFs’
prospectuses and statement of additional information, which are publicly available at www.ark-
funds.com, on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), or by contacting the ARK
ETFs’ principal underwriter, Foreside Fund Services, LLC at Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, ME
04101 or calling 855-406- 1506.
Interval Fund: Venture Fund
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, and in consideration of the advisory services provided by ARK to
the Venture Fund, ARK is entitled to a Management Fee, which is calculated and payable monthly in
arrears at the annual rate of 2.75% of the average daily value of the Venture Fund’s Net Assets. “Net
Assets” means the total assets of the Venture Fund minus the fund’s liabilities. In addition to the
Management Fee, the Venture Fund bears other fees and expenses, which may vary and will affect the
total expense ratio of the Venture Fund, such as taxes and governmental fees, brokerage fees,
commissions and other transaction expenses, certain foreign custodial fees and expenses, costs of
borrowing money, including interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and
indemnification expenses).
Additional information regarding the Venture Fund expenses can be found in the Venture Fund
prospectus in the “Fund Expenses” section, which is publicly available at www.ark-funds.com, on the
EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or writing to the Venture Fund at ARK
Investment Management, LLC, 200 Central Ave., Suite 220, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701, or by calling
toll-free 888-511-2347.
Separately Managed Accounts, Other Pooled Investment Vehicles and Clients
When ARK enters into an investment advisory agreement or other agreements to provide investment
management or advisory services to clients, ARK will charge each such client a fee at a specified annual
percentage rate of the client’s assets under management. Fees also can include a performance
component for certain clients and Private Funds, as discussed in Item 6.
Separately Managed Accounts
ARK’s standard fee rates for management of separately managed accounts are normally between 0.45%
and 0.60% of assets under management. The fees charged to separately managed accounts are
negotiable and typically will vary and can be reduced or can include breakpoints at ARK’s sole discretion
depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to: the type of client, the strategy, the size of
the account, the total amount of client assets managed or advised by ARK, whether the client wishes to
impose particular limitations or restrictions on ARK’s discretionary investment authority (e.g., restrictions
on the types of securities that ARK acquires for the account), and other business considerations. ARK
generally imposes investment minimums on separately managed accounts.
ARK’s fee rates do not include fees that separately managed account clients normally pay to other third-

ARK’s services to each ARK ETF are supervised by the Board, currently composed of four Trustees. For independence purposes, three of the four Trustees are not “interested persons” of the ARK ETF Trust or ARK. Additional information about each ARK ETF, including the services that ARK provides and the ARK ETFs’ investment objectives, strategies and risks, can be found in the ARK ETFs’ prospectuses and statement of additional information, which are publicly available at www.ark-funds.com, on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or by contacting the ARK ETFs’ principal underwriter, Foreside Fund Services, LLC at Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, ME 04101 or by calling 855- 406-1506.
