Q: When a stock is added to an index, do the index funds have to re-adjust all their holdings by the very date posted (20 December, in this case?) A really big fund, such as the Vanguard 500 would generate a huge volume if they had just one week to do the conversion. I admit I don't even know which funds are indexed on NASDAQ-100. I also don't have a clue exactly how the market makers really "accomodate" such large movements of stock, at least on NASDAQ when it's precisely the NASDAQ index which is changing!
