Not only that but with 895,275 shares, Wood's Space ETF holds more of her own 3D printing fund than the top 30 owners combined, who hold just 695,898 shares.
The Space Exploration & Innovation ETF made its public debut on March 30 and took in $536.2 million in its first five days on the market.
Despite the undeniably successful launch, the Space ETF has underperformed since going public, with shares stuck trading around the public debut price of $20.30 per share.

Wood continues to double down on her top tech stock picks. The fund manager's flagship fund the ARK Innovation ETF even picked up another 1,045,600 shares of Palantir on Wednesday.
