ARKK is far from passive
Conversely, look at super undervalued companies like JKS and CSIQ. JKS is the largest and fastest growing solar company in the world BTW. Yet these companies sit mostly under foreign market ETFs which have never been very popular, and hence why they largely remain undervalued.
ARKK are active investors because they're using discretion to pick specific investments.
They say so themselves: "ARKK is an actively managed ETF"
