Executive Summary
The modern IPO market has shifted from a mechanism for raising growth capital to a liquidity event for private equity investors and insiders, as exemplified by the upcoming SpaceX IPO.
NASDAQ has controversially changed its rules to allow for the accelerated inclusion of mega-IPOs like SpaceX into the NASDAQ 100, despite an unprecedentedly low 5% public float.
These rule changes create a market distortion by forcing index funds to purchase billions of dollars of SpaceX stock on a specific date, potentially inflating the price and harming price discovery.
The incident highlights a growing divergence in index methodologies, blurring the line between passive and active management and requiring investors to be more diligent about the construction of their index funds.
