Friends That Invest · Index Funds Are Changing: Here’s What You Need to Know · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

uh that's kind of annoying like they're changing the rules what does this mean for me as an investor which now leads us on to the final chapter of this episode the pros and cons of this and what it means for you and what you need to do let's just start off with the cons let's be honest i just i know that's what we're all here for we want to know is this going to disrupt the market like do i need to sell down my s&p 500 shares

Like this is just another thing to do, another thing to add to the list.

My list is like honestly never ending.

And not to sidetrack, but to kind of sidetrack, I was talking to my mother-in-law the other day and she was like, Sim, I just like...

have a calendar in my head i was like what do you mean a calendar in your head she was like i just know like like ruby's dog appointment is like next tuesday at 4 p.m i was like i cannot live the way you live i am a woman of the modern age i need everything in my google calendar but your list is probably just as long so what do you need to know what do you need to avoid

The con is that indexes like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 only can have a certain amount of companies in them.

They're kind of like when you go to a pop-up store and only one person is allowed in when someone leaves.

Or like you go to the club and like, it's like, sorry, we have to wait for one person to leave before another person's let in.

And you're just like, I literally see empty seats, but that's okay, whatever.

That is what happens.

So the issue is if something like SpaceX gets added in earlier than it has needed to in the past, it means something has had to be booted out.

And usually the thing that had to be booted out has been maybe a profitable company that actually did follow the rules and joined.

So that's like not such a great thing to deal with.

Another con is that this means investing is not really as passive as we once thought it was.

Like, yes, we understand that the S&P 500 is passive and it automatically adjusts.

But there is also a board and a committee and decisions made about what can be let in and when.

And so to know that the board and the committee are able to adjust things based on what they believe is the right thing to do.

And yes, they did.

you know, consult with everyday investors and you could have actually like being one of the investors that submitted if you thought this was the right thing or not.

There's an active element to it and it makes investors kind of feel like, huh, so it's not as passive as I truly wanted it to be.
