SpaceX IPO: What It Means for Passive Investors

What does the SpaceX IPO mean for passive investors? What does it mean for your ETF, your 401(k), your pension fund, or the broad index fund you already own? If a company like SpaceX goes public with a tiny float and huge market attention, will index funds have to buy automatically?

That is exactly what we talked about in our last LongtermTrends meetup. A few members joined live, we went through the SpaceX IPO, and the discussion turned into a useful case study for a bigger question: what actually happens inside an index fund when a huge private company enters public markets? You can watch the SpaceX IPO meetup here.
