Summary · why it matters

SpaceX has been added to the Nasdaq 100 index, prompting discussion about how its inclusion will affect Nasdaq 100 ETFs. Brian Walsh, head of advice and planning at SoFi, noted that while investors generally welcome exposure to SpaceX, its weighting in the index is lower than some might expect because it is based on shares available to trade rather than market capitalization. The move comes as new ETF products challenge Invesco's QQQ fund on cost, with Walsh saying competition should drive down expenses and improve transparency. SoFi also launched a new ETF, SFYI, which invests in the top 50 US-listed equities traded on its platform and generates monthly yield through actively managed option strategies.
