Tesla shares posted significant gains on Monday, the first trading day of the year, as it reported fourth-quarter delivery volumes that far surpassed expectations; the gains have since been erased. The electric vehicle maker’s shares had advanced about 50% in 2021 and are down 11.3% for the year so far.

Ark Invest owns shares in Tesla via three of its exchange-traded funds — the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK, the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF and the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW.

The three ETFs held about 1.61 million shares worth $1.71 billion in Tesla, prior to Friday’s trade.
