S&P Dow Jones Indices has decided not to include SpaceX in the S&P 500. As a result, ETFs and pension portfolios tracking the S&P 500will not have automatic exposure to SpaceX shares.

S&P Dow Jones Indices has decided not to include SpaceX in the S&P 500. This decision directly affects the scope of holdings in ETFs and pension portfolios tracking the S&P 500.
ETFs tracking the S&P 500hold only the index constituents. Therefore, if SpaceX is not included in the S&P 500, these funds will not hold SpaceX shares.
6As of 11, the S&P 500has risen 8% year to date. The index's current level highlights the impact of passive fund flows and portfolio construction methods on investment results.
S&P Dow applies requirements for publicly traded common stock and float when determining inclusion. These criteria mean that the timing and structure of a listing are key factors in determining whether a company is included.
The SpaceX listing itself is a separate process. Even if a listing takes place, the final determining factor is whether S&P’s inclusion criteria are met.
General investors must choose between indirect exposure and directly holding shares based on S&P 500 inclusion status. An index-tracking portfolio does not automatically provide exposure to SpaceX.
