FTSE Russell Proposes Fast-Entry For IPOs

FTSE Russell proposed changes to Russell U.S. Equity Indexes, including a fast-entry mechanism for IPOs and revisions to float and voting-rights rules, with a consultation open until March 18. The amendments aim to ensure large 2026 listings—cited examples include SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic—can be added to benchmarks promptly. Nasdaq has proposed similar index-acceleration measures.
