Mutual fund managers have been able to generate alpha outside of Big Tech this year, with some stocks contributing sizable gains, according to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman found the large-cap core have struggled this year due to their underweight in the largest tech stocks, which have led the market rally.
However, mutual fund managers were able to find winners elsewhere, Goldman said.
"An improving stock picking environment has helped mutual fund PMs generate alpha elsewhere in their portfolios," Goldman strategists said in a note.
Top gainers in mutual fund portfolios also included energy stocks Chevron , Exxon Mobil and NextEra Energy.
