Do you think it’s more or less likely that they will make the same change as the other benchmarks?

S&P has historically been more conservative. My personal guess is they won't adopt all of the proposals.

But you think they’ll adopt some of these proposals that are in the benefit of these companies IPOing at the expense of large funds?

Yes. And I see the argument for it. It’s hard to claim you represent the market if trillions of dollars are outside it for no reason other than newness or capital-structure weirdness. (I agree with excluding unprofitable companies.)

		There's quite a bit of money in, say, the cannabis business; do they have any representation in indices of note?

If the S&P adopt those rules would there be any index fund that is S&P without the new rules?
