The $85 billion listing last month of SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace, satellite communications and artificial intelligence company, was an important market event. The company's dual-class share structure, conferring disproportionate voting power on its founder, could be expected to serve as a template for the next wave of high-profile IPOs, with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to follow suit in the coming quarters.

ProShares S&P 500® ex-Financials ETF offers exposure to the S&P 500 Index, excluding Financials and Real Estate securities. Its expense ratio is 0.09% and the ETF has $58 million in assets. The strategy might be attractive to those looking to avoid a repeat of the Global Financial Crisis from 2007-2009. However, historical simulations suggest potential benefits would be negligible. The reason is because Financials and Real Estate comprise only about 17% of the S&P 500 Index today. Even with 20% underperformance, that equals just 3.4% in excess returns.
