Question

How much of my portfolio could end up in SpaceX after it’s added to an index?

Answer

Most major indexes weight companies by the amount of stock that is available to trade in the market — not total market cap. So SpaceX’s multi-trillion-dollar valuation doesn’t directly translate to a large weighting right away. SpaceX’s initial position in either the S&P 500 or Russell 1000 is expected to be roughly 0.1%. That weighting could grow over time as lockup periods expire and more shares become freely tradable.
