I've been wanting to take stakes in ARKK (the flagship general vehicle), for a long time. But it is impossible to buy this US collective investment on UK retail platforms. ARK have told me repeatedly for the last three years that they are assessing the MIFID/KIDD regulations but nothing ever happens. It seems that they need to do the KIDD before anyone will touch them. IMHO, ARKK has a balanced role in growth pfs.
The nearest accessible fund I found to ARKK was Schiehallion under Bailie Gifford - that hasn't turned out to be much fun but the sharp bear market (especially in future/innovation stocks) will hopefully restore in time.
Has anyone been able to buy ARKK on a UK funds platform, please?
Is this it on Interactive Investor? The page has a "trade" button.

From the KID - "The objective of the LS ARK Innovation Tracker ETP is to track the ARKK Innovation Tracker Investment Strategy, (the 'Investment Strategy') which is designed to provide 1:1 exposure to the performance of ARK Innovation ETF (the “Reference Asset”), minus a fee."
Or if that's not quite sexy enough there seems to be a 3x leveraged version.

From the KID - "The objective of the ETP Securities is to provide 3 times the value of the daily performance of the ARK Innovation ETF , net of fees and expenses. The ETP securities seek to pursue the 3x Long ARKK Innovation Investment Strategy (the "Investment Strategy") which provides exposure to 3 times the daily performance of the ARK Innovation ETF (the “Reference Asset”)."
