A lot of people asking when $SPCX shows up in their index funds. Here's the actual timeline:
$SPY/$VOO/$IVV (S&P 500): At least 1 year. S&P didn't change their rules, so SpaceX needs four quarters of profitability first.
$QQQ (Nasdaq 100): 15 trading days.
$VTI/$ITOT/$VT (Total Market): 5 trading days.
$VUG/$IWF (Growth): 5 trading days.
If you own broad market or growth ETFs, you're getting exposure almost immediately. If you're S&P 500 only, you're waiting a while.
This is why I've always liked total market funds over S&P 500 — you don't miss the big IPOs while the committee debates eligibility. You just own the market.
