How this is computed
On a month from SEC Form N-PORT, money in is the filing’s sales plus reinvestments and money out its redemptions.
A month from SEC Form N-PORT is sales and reinvestments less redemptions as filed; a later month is the sum of its days, and says so where a day is missing.

Questions people ask about SARK
- Did SARK return -1 times ARKK?
- Over the three months to Oct 8, 2026, ARKK moved +7.5% and SARK returned −9.6%. −1 times that move is −7.5%, so the fund came out 2.1 points short of it. Against its own daily promise, −1 times each day's move compounded, it was 0.5 points over.
- Why does SARK not return -1 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. SARK aims at -1 times each day's move, and daily results compound. Over a run where the underlying falls and comes back, compounding a levered daily return leaves a holder behind what -1 times the period move would suggest; over a steady run in one direction it can leave them ahead. The longer the holding, and the more the underlying moves about, the further apart the two figures get.
