Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. sold $8 billion of bonds in its debut sale at yields that were lower than originally offered after the Chinese e-commerce company got at least $57 billion of orders from investors.
“The premium we see associated with Chinese companies is absent in this case,” Dorian Garay, a New York-based money manager for the global investment-grade debt fund at ING Investment Management, said in a telephone interview. “It feels like new-issue concession is non-existent.”
