FTSE Russell accelerates the inclusion of newly listed large-cap stocks into the main index through new regulations. Eligible IPOs will be quickly included on the fifth trading day after listing, whereas previously they were only assessed during quarterly reviews. Alne Noack, head of Americas stocks and multi-asset indices, said this move makes the index more timely in reflecting market developments and is also inspired by Nasdaq's approach of shortening the waiting period from three months to 15 days, just as SpaceX is expected to go public a few weeks before the IPO.

ME News report: May 27 (UTC+8). FTSE Russell has approved a rule change to accelerate the inclusion of newly listed large-cap stocks into its main indices—right around the time SpaceX is expected to conduct its IPO a few weeks later. Under the new policy, IPOs with an investable market capitalization exceeding the FTSE Russell US Top 500 index threshold will be eligible for fast-track inclusion after the end of the fifth trading day following their listing. Previously, companies that met the criteria were only evaluated during quarterly reviews. Arne Noack, head of FTSE Russell’s US equities and multi-asset indices, said in a statement, “By introducing a fast-track inclusion mechanism for large-scale IPOs, the index can reflect major market developments more promptly.” FTSE Russell is emulating a similar move earlier this year by Nasdaq, which shortened the waiting period for index inclusion from at least three months to 15 days to accommodate potential mega IPOs.

Noark's words sound familiar; every reform claims to "reflect the market in a timely manner."

Wait, is SpaceX really going public soon or is it just a smoke screen?

Large-cap stocks have a fast track; small-cap stocks are even less noticeable.

Quarterly reviews are now real-time, and index compilation is increasingly resembling high-frequency trading.

In the past, I could gradually build my position over three months; now, I have to fire all my bullets within five days.
