Join American Beacon and senior leadership from ARK Invest for an in‑person discussion on how to access the world's leading private companies at the forefront of innovation in AI, Robotics, Energy Storage, Multiomics (Biotech) and Blockchain Technology. We will talk through the benefits of direct-to-cap-table investing and the other unique aspects of the ARK Venture Fund that differentiate it from other products that purport to offer exposure to innovative private and late‑stage growth companies.

  • Our approach to liquidity management and best practices
  • Our approach to valuing private companies and best practices
  • How we source and manage our investment pipeline (of private companies)

  • Deep dive into our other top-conviction portfolio holdings (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Replit)
  • Where ARK Venture Fund fits in a portfolio
