ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood on markets and the ‘wonder’ of innovation

    The future is 5G

    With the onset of COVID-19 and the lockdowns that followed, the move to digitisation became one of necessity rather than choice. Traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers shifted online, triggering a frenzy of buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) vendors offering solutions to eventually replace physical cash.

    Is hipages the next technology unicorn?

    The last few months have been an IPO bonanza for investors after a flurry of small-cap tech companies listed on the ASX at a most opportune time.
