Alibaba ETFs Steady as Lockup Expires

Until those big index providers officially accommodate Alibaba, ETF investors are left to access the stock via funds such as KWEB and the Renaissance IPO ETF (NYSEArca: IPO). IPO, which was the second ETF to add Alibaba following the company’s September initial public offering, currently has a 7% weight to the stock.

IPO is up 0.1% today, extending a run that has seen the ETF climb 6.4% this year. That run has been buoyed by, among other holdings, Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS), Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) and JD.com. [IPO ETF Holding up Nicely]

TheEmerging Markets Internet & Ecommerce ETF (NYSEArca: EMQQ), which debuted in November, is trading slightly lower today. The ETF’s underlying index, the Emerging Markets Internet & Ecommerce Index, has an 8% weight to Alibaba.

Although it is not a dedicated China Internet ETF, EMQQ does feature significant allocations to some of the Chinese Internet names that have endured Alibaba’s slide, including a combined 11.5% weight to JD.com and Vipshop.
