Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., China’s largest e-commerce company, may have a market value of as much as $200 billion by the end of 2014 after an initial public offering, said Carl Huttenlocher, chief investment officer of hedge-fund company Myriad Asset Management Ltd.

SoftBank Corp., a Tokyo-based wireless carrier with a 35 percent stake in Alibaba, may see its market value boosted by as much as 75 percent as a result, according to Huttenlocher, whose Hong Kong-based company now manages $2.3 billion of assets.
