These 3 Funds Are Loading Up On Tesla
Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been one of the more popular IPOs of the past few years.
The number of U.S. mutual funds and hedge funds owning the stock has steadily risen in recent quarters. With a market capitalization of about $30 billion, the stock fits into the large-cap category. It's part of the consumer cyclical sector, so that's another fund category where the stock may appear.
Despite Tesla's market cap, it's a volatile stock, with a beta of 1.87. That means it's more volatile than the broader market. For funds with significant holdings in Tesla, that volatility may show up in changes to Net Asset Value.
