Question

If I invest in index funds, do I automatically get exposure to SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI?

Answer

Not right away — but eventually, yes. As these companies go public and meet the criteria for major indexes like the S&P 500, Russell 1000, and Nasdaq-100, index funds tracking those benchmarks could automatically add positions in each company. You don’t need to take any action to participate. The timing depends on each index provider’s methodology — some are fast-tracking inclusion, while others, such as the S&P 500, are keeping their standard approach.
