The Alibaba Bump: 89% Of Funds That Own It Are Beating Their Benchmark

FYI: U.S. mutual funds struggling to get ahead of passive indexes this year had a solution handed to them on a platter: Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd.

Among 215 large-cap growth funds in the U.S., about one-third hold shares of the New York-listed Chinese e-commerce giant, according to regulatory filings compiled by Bloomberg. They’ve returned an average 33 percent this year, compared with 24 percent from managers with no stake.

Among funds with BABA on board, 89 percent are beating their benchmarks in 2017, versus 52 percent without it.
