add, the Wall Street Journal article quotes a senior analyst at Russell as saying the "index funds need to have their new portfolios in place by July 1."

There may be nothing that requires them to do so, but it makes sense. Index funds are evaluated based on how well they track their index. The risk of tracking error increases the longer that the fund waits to position itself to mimic its index.

Good point add. They still have an incentive to "beat" the index (to make up for trading losses for liquidity, that are inevitable) and so would surely pick their entry point based on keen observation. So there ya got it; Russell 2000 and S & P Smallcap 600.
