You Might Already Own SpaceX: How IPOs, Index Rules, and Heavy Weightings Can Increase Portfolio Risk

In this episode, we explains how investors may already own SpaceX through index funds and 401(k)s, even without knowing it. Using SpaceX’s IPO as a case study, we distinguish stock exchanges (NYSE/Nasdaq) from stock indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, FTSE Russell, MSCI ACWI), how each makes money (fees, data, licensing), and how index inclusion rules work (longevity, availability/float, profitability, location/industry). We then discuss the larger issue in the increasing concentration and interconnection among top tech/“Mag Seven” firms, making major indices less diversified than many assume.
