Are the pensions fund not "automatically" investing in anthropic as soon as it's public because it's in the S&P 500 (like spacex) ?
gloryjulio•44m ago
Spacex is not included in sp500 yet. Nasdaq is the one fast tracked spacex to dump on the retails
andriy_koval•42m ago
Many funds use Russel indexes, which included SpaceX already
JumpCrisscross•35m ago
Many funds use lots of indices. Very few dollars are being forced to buy these offerings.
andriy_koval•32m ago
Russel indexes are used by very large funds, e.g. vanguard usually track russel
edoceo•14m ago
Which Vanguard and at which weight?
andriy_koval•5m ago
the largest 2.3T is https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VTI/ which tracks CSRP which fasttracked SPaceX
derektank•28m ago
The Russell indices, and other indices like the CSRP total market index, might include newly public companies like SpaceX, but the relative weight of them in the index will be float-adjusted, so a company like SpaceX that has kept a lot of its shares locked up will be underrepresented in the index compared to a more established public company.
andriy_koval•8m ago
Per https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-SPCX/ SpaceX curreng float is 4.29B shares or about 600B USD, not that small grab from pension funds.
judge2020•43m ago
The S&P 500 denied early admission to SpaceX.
phyzix5761•12m ago
There's a 12 month waiting period plus the company has to show 4+ quarters of positive net earnings before qualifying to be included.
millspore•45m ago
Does inclusion in S&P 500 even happen fast enough after IPO to matter here, thought there was usually a wait period before index funds have to buy in?
JumpCrisscross•35m ago
No.
msy•32m ago
The SEC's obligation is to all market participants, not just index fund holders.
cgio•10m ago
Arguably if you consciously choose to invest on a stock there should be no protection or obstacle other than regulated controls. For indices I see the point of extra protection. Where it gets murky is when you look at retirement funds, where you still have no control, but that should be regulation on the funds themselves rather than the stock.
sandworm101•32m ago
These days? All rules are maybe this or maybe that depending on political winds.

Frankly, no company should be allowed to IPO without showing steady profit. An exchange or index that promotes IPOs of unprofitable companies diminishes its reputation, and the reputation of all other stocks it indexes.

Anthropic is free to continue selling shares privately. They can setup a website and take cc payments if the care so much.

This is so dumb. Let the market figure it out. If it goes public and crashes, we get a valuable answer that saves tens of billions of wasted capital investment. If it floats, the dude who posts nonsense math can keep filling his subscriptions.
andy_ppp•31m ago
But we all know markets aren’t rational, I’m unconvinced we shouldn’t step in… if I started selling anthrax the government would try to stop me. This product might malfunction and show people how to make said anthrax which would be bad. Same with most things, everyone thinks this is a bubble. I think we should actually just put a cap on how much hardware data centres can buy per year, that would be the sensible solution tbh.
digitaltrees•28m ago
Please edit the first sentence out. Keep it civil.

As far as your claim, it's fine to say let the market sort it out, but perhaps consider that pension funds and index funds now represent a market distortion that means anthropic crashing is harder and even if it does would happen after the mandatory purchases by the index funds which is basically a transfer from the public to the insiders at anthropic

yorwba•11m ago
Maybe the SEC should instead block funds from distorting the market by making large predictable transactions, then.
phyzix5761•11m ago
There's a 12 month waiting period plus the company has to show 4+ quarters of positive net earnings before qualifying to be included in the S&P 500. Pension and index funds are gonna be ok.
zer00eyz•32m ago
It's going to get hammered into oblivion long before it gets to where it can end up on sp500. The election, and what happens after may see them delaying the IPO (if I was one to bet)

But it also sort of doesn't matter. Anthropic, not in sp500, ends up a fail then the "bubble" pops and the sp500 gets ugly.

fullshark•25m ago
Why do you think they will delay the IPO? I bet there's enough demand to buy their stock.
xur17•12m ago
> if I was one to bet

You can do exactly that on Polymarket and make good money if you are right.

stockresearcher•26m ago
There’s plenty of argument about how if a company has an IPO then they are, by definition, part of the market. And if you bought an index fund that means to represent a part of the market that this company is in, then that company should be in the index fund.

You had lots of choices, you made this choice, and you can always change your mind. Do we really need to have the government step in to prevent you from having to choose something else?

demo4567•25m ago
The SEC should SEC to protect the public.
cowlevel•14m ago
The SEC doesn't exist to play favourites. If Anthropic has broken a law they can be blocked for that. If not, then it would be unfair to them to block them for things that other companies with IPOs have done. Live by market primacy, die by market primacy.
jawiggins•11m ago
This author seems to be focused on if Anthropic will continue to grow and return value in the future. But it's disappointing that no one has questioned why they waited so long to go public. If they had gone public at a $100b evaluation, everyday people and pension funds could have invested in and seen the returns that AI has already delivered. Instead, Anthropic leadership runs around saying how AI need to benefit society as a whole rather than a select few, meanwhile they have kept the benefit of >$1t for themselves and refused to share it with others.
thevinter•7m ago
A year ago Anthropic was losing billions per year. I'm sure that if it had listed and then collapsed everyone would've gone "first they run around saying how AI needs to benefit society and then they dump a cash-burning company on pension funds"
NewJazz•5m ago

jawiggins•3m ago
But pension funds are already invested in them through the VC funds. The only difference is people would be able to invest in Anthropic without paying management fees to middlemen.
singron•6m ago
If Anthropic can't easily pay all these commitments, what are the odds that they get all their creditors together and negotiate a mini chapter 11 (e.g. by adding 5 years to the commitment timelines, or canceling a proportion of each commitment)? The creditors have no interest in Anthropic going under, and with enough advanced notice, they can pause or cancel their own investments and probably take reduced losses.
stingraycharles•5m ago
If the SEC allowed the SpaceX IPO they most certainly will allow the Anthropic IPO. From my point of view, the Anthropic IPO is a much more genuine one than the shenanigans that were going on with SpaceX, yet we’re all investing into that through ETFs as well.

Additionally, some ETFs have built in protections to rule out businesses that are not yet profitable (like SpaceX and Anthropic), which I think is a great rule.

applebottomjean•1m ago
If companies were already profitable why would they go public?
alistairSH•3m ago
Seems like requiring an audit might be the solution to this issue? Why they (or anybody) can go public, with financials that are little more than a pinky-swear, is beyond me.
> Frankly, no company should be allowed to IPO without showing steady profit

This is directly counter to the original point of public markets at all

phyzix5761•14m ago
12 month waiting period plus 4+ quarters of profitable earnings before you qualify for inclusion.
