Index Fund Rule Change: 15 Days Instead of 90
At 15:42 · chapter starts 13:55
Why Your Retirement Fund May Buy SpaceX Whether You Like It or Not
If you hold an index fund tied to the Nasdaq 100, you're about to become a SpaceX investor. The index is fast-tracking SpaceX entry to just 15 days post-IPO — forcing passive funds to buy in. There is no opt-out.
15 Days vs. 3 Months: How SpaceX Is Changing the Index Fund Rulebook
Standard procedure requires a company to trade for 90 days before entering the Nasdaq 100. SpaceX gets in after 15. That forces every index fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 to buy SpaceX shares — whether they want to or not.
