Passive investing in index funds can generate returns that roughly match the overall market. But investors can boost returns by picking market-beating companies to own shares in. For example, the Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd. (HKG:1877) share price is up 14% in the last year, clearly besting the market return of around 6.2% (not including dividends). That's a solid performance by our standards! Shanghai Junshi Biosciences hasn't been listed for long, so it's still not clear if it is a long term winner.
