What happened
Index providers, including FTSE Russell and Nasdaq, have adjusted their methodologies to allow very large companies to enter key stock indexes much sooner than previously permitted. This change responds to pushes from companies, such as SpaceX, seeking faster inclusion in indexes like the Nasdaq-100 and FTSE Russell indexes. Previously, a waiting period existed to protect investors from IPO volatility.

Why it matters
Index funds, which mirror market indexes, are a popular investment method. When a company is added to a major index, funds tracking that index are required to purchase the stock. This means that if a company enters major indexes quickly after its IPO, large asset managers may need to buy significant amounts of shares almost immediately.
Index providers, including Nasdaq, S&P Dow Jones Indices, and FTSE Russell, have recently announced policy changes regarding faster IPO routes and IPO relaxations.
