The technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite has taken a severe beating in the past few weeks, plunging close to 8% in the past month to drop down nearly 28% year-to-date as recession fears and historical tightening by the Federal Reserve batter growth stocks. One of the biggest losers from this developing situation has been Cathie Wood of ARK Investment Management, who has seen the value of her equity portfolio decline by nearly $6 billion between March and June 2022. Her flagship ARK Innovation ETF is down over 57% year-to-date.
Wood, famously bullish on growth names like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Sea Limited (NYSE:SE), and Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), is using the market downturn to go on a buying binge. Per data compiled by news publication Bloomberg on September 13, one of the worst days for the NASDAQ Composite since March 2020, her investment firm made new purchases in 27 growth stocks across eight different ETFs. Wood has snapped up the shares of automaker General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) for the first time since May.
Wood has criticized the decisions of the central bank to raise interest rates as she seeks some cover against her risky bets. On September 13, Wood said that the decision of the Fed to raise rates “will prove a mistake” as deflationary pressures were building. Wood cited falling commodity and freight charges, as well as stable gold prices, to make the claim that the supply chain issues responsible for inflation were moderating, and a recession in the United States economy would bring down prices even further.

In its Q3 2021 investor letter, Alger, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and InModel Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:
“InModel Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) was among the topic contributors to performance. InMode designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes innovative minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic medical products. InMode’s platforms harness novel radio frequency (RF) technology to enable emerging minimally invasive procedures that bridge the gap between temporary treatments like facials and more invasive surgical procedures like facelifts across several categories of surgical specialties such as plastic surgery, gynaecology, dermatology, ophthalmology and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat care).
The aesthetics market is seeing strong tailwinds coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic. These tailwinds include the “Zoom effect,” or dissatisfaction with one’s personal appearance after viewing one’s own face on Zoom, which has resulted in more people deciding to undergo aesthetic procedures. De-stigmatization of aesthetics procedures, aided by social media platforms, is also supportive of InMode’s results. Between the strong growth of its existing product lines and the anticipated launch of two new products, investors perceive InMode as being well positioned to capitalize on the broader strength of the aesthetics market, which is a key reason shares outperformed in the third quarter.”

In its Q2 2022 investor letter, Saga Partners, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:
“The Portfolio first bought Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) in Q3’20. It was a company we followed closely given our investment in The Trade Desk and its importance in connected television (CTV). Roku continued to impressively grow its CTV market share and it took some extra work to understand the underlying dynamics causing Roku’s success. I think there is some misunderstanding surrounding the connected television landscape. Since I haven’t written extensively on the topic in past letters, I thought it would be helpful to provide a little more background on the underlying dynamics of the space below…
In their most recent results, Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) reported softer advertising dollars as nearly half of advertisers paused ad campaigns in response to macro uncertainty. While advertising will come and go, the key is that Roku can continue to gather eyeballs and then the rest will work itself out in the long run. In my opinion, the market is underappreciating the power of Roku’s competitive advantage in the TV ecosystem and ability to scale far into the future.…(read more)
