Futu Collaborates with ARK Invest to Bring Innovative Investment Strategies to Hong Kong

Hong Kong, October 30, 2026 – Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Limited (“Futu”) today announced a collaboration with ARK Invest, a globally recognized investment management firm, to bring ARK Invest's innovative investment strategies to eligible professional investors in Hong Kong. The collaboration will broaden investors' access to global innovation opportunities, helping them position ahead of emerging technological trends and capture opportunities in the next wave of innovation.

Investing at the Forefront of Disruptive Innovation

ARK Invest is globally recognized for its focus on disruptive innovation, with investment strategies spanning cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, blockchain and genomics. The firm focuses on identifying innovative companies with significant long-term growth potential. Futu, meanwhile, leverages its technology-driven digital investment platform to connect global capital markets with investors in Hong Kong, offering a diverse range of global assets and an integrated experience for international trading and asset allocation.

Futu has previously made several exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed by ARK Invest available on its platform, giving clients access to ARK Invest's innovative investment strategies and thematic investment opportunities. Building on this foundation, the two companies are now introducing alternative investment products focused on global innovative companies for professional investors in Hong Kong, providing access to select investment opportunities beyond public markets that have traditionally been difficult to access through conventional channels.

Leveraging its established private wealth services and leading digital wealth management platform, Futu aims to connect private wealth clients with the expertise and diverse investment opportunities offered by leading global investment firms, delivering more personalized wealth management services and an enhanced client experience. Through this collaboration, eligible professional investors will have the opportunity to draw on ARK Invest's in-depth research and forward-looking investment framework to explore the long-term growth potential of innovative companies worldwide and access investment opportunities arising from technological transformation.

An Exclusive Conversation with Cathie Wood at Futu

Cathie Wood, Founder, CEO and CIO of ARK Invest, recently visited Futu to attend an event and meet with members of Futu's management team, including Steve Zeng, Managing Director of Futu Group, and Maggie Li, Head of Wealth Management. Discussions covered global innovation trends, forward-looking investment themes and asset allocation strategies for high-net-worth clients.

Steve Zeng, Managing Director of Futu Group, said: “Hong Kong is accelerating its development as a leading global wealth management hub, with high-net-worth investors showing growing interest in accessing differentiated investment opportunities worldwide. Through this collaboration, we aim to leverage ARK Invest's deep research capabilities and established investment strategies in emerging and disruptive technologies to bring high-growth-potential investment opportunities to professional investors in Hong Kong, helping them stay ahead of the curve amid rapid changes in the global innovation landscape.”

"We are excited to collaborate with Futu to bring our investment strategies to investors in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of the world's most dynamic markets for investing in innovation. As a leading technology-driven brokerage in Hong Kong, Futu has built a well-established private wealth management platform and a strong reputation among professional investors, with a proven ability to serve high-net-worth clients. " said Cathie Wood, "We believe this collaboration will help more professional investors in Hong Kong position themselves at the forefront of global technological innovation and capture the long-term growth opportunities driven by innovation worldwide.”

Advancing Its Private Wealth Business in Hong Kong

With more than a decade of experience in Hong Kong, Futu has established a comprehensive service framework for professional investors, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices and institutional investors. In September 2026, Futu further strengthened its private wealth offering with the opening of its Private Wealth Center at Pacific Place in Admiralty, Hong Kong. The center provides high-net-worth and institutional clients with a dedicated environment and tailored professional services.

The collaboration with ARK Invest will further strengthen Futu's position in Hong Kong's private wealth market. By connecting clients with ARK Invest's innovation-driven investment expertise, Futu will introduce differentiated investment opportunities that are relatively scarce in the market. At the same time, Futu will leverage its established capabilities and extensive experience serving high-net-worth clients to provide eligible investors with access to a broader range of global investment opportunities, supporting greater diversification and internationalization of their portfolios.

Looking ahead, Futu will continue to drive innovation through technology and collaborate with leading global partners to offer investors across different segments a broader, more diverse and forward-looking range of investment opportunities, empowering clients to participate in the growth and opportunities created by technological transformation in the global innovation economy.
