TechFlow News, March 27: According to The Block, ARK Invest announced a partnership with prediction market platform Kalshi to integrate its data into institutional investment workflows to support investment decision-making and risk management.
ARK Invest stated it will use Kalshi in three ways: first, to supplement fundamental and quantitative analysis with continuously updated market expectation data; second, to inform real-time judgments by referencing performance metrics such as trading volume; and third, to manage risks associated with specific events—including hedging discrete-outcome exposures that affect portfolios, as well as macroeconomic and industry-level risks.
Cathie Wood, CEO and CIO of ARK Invest, said prediction market signals help strengthen the research process and provide contextual reference for key drivers in disruptive industries. Nick Grous, ARK’s Head of Research, noted that prediction markets are an important tool for measuring risks tied to critical economic and company-level outcomes.
