WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU

Many investors have their investment dollars in index funds tied to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. Some, but perhaps not all, may not necessarily want their retirement money in newly listed stocks, no matter how high their profile.

Everyone seems to want a piece of expected mega IPOs—including the providers of the indexes that power funds held by scores of investors.

With Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX and artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, whose private market valuations rival those of most stocks, among the big expected market debuts of the coming months, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Nasdaq (NDAQ) are making or mulling changes that could fast-track new stocks into benchmarks like S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100.

Nasdaq has rolled out "fast entry" rules that would make new mega-cap stocks—those with market values that would place them in the top 40 of the Nasdaq 100—eligible for inclusion after just 15 trading days; previously, it could take a year.
