Yeah, I can try to explain that. The S&P indexes are market capitalization weighted. ADCT is increasing its market cap by the shares being issued, thus to hold X% in the index weighting the funds must purchase a little more.

Which brings up the foolishness of index funds. They HAVE to buy and sell certain things WITHOUT REGARD to price or valuation.
