ARKs Cathie Wood speaks to 10 year old Eli Smit

It’s not often you stumble across a ten-year-old New Zealander hosting a business podcast, but then again, most ten-year-olds aren’t like self-proclaimed budding entrepreneur Eli Smit.

This podcast is loaded with the very latest thoughts on Disruptive Innovation from Cathie Wood, CEO, ARK Invest. Cathie covers all areas from Tesla to the latest innovations in healthcare and genomics, plus there's plenty of surprises and 'wow' moments along the way.

The Nikko AM ARK Disruptive Innovation Fund is now available to New Zealand investors through our GoalsGetter platform. Find out more about the fund here.
