I can feel my party hat gettin' ready
I thought you were goin fishinActually bit of a question.
Do the index funds have to "wait" for the closing auction to purchase their required shares?
Or can they purchase the required shares anytime "prior" to the closing auction
My understanding is they have to closely track the index performance so does that compel them to only buy in the auction to mitigate risk of not tracking close enough???
Maybe I should DMOR instead of being lazy....
I think old Donegaldemon knows a bit but not sure he's got eyes on this forum
I was....but the bloody wind came up!I thought you were goin fishin

Thanks MickyHi Nut,
This was Donegaldemon's anwser to a similiar question on HC..
The Index does not do anything, it is simply a representation of performance / return of certain assets. The funds or money under management or ETF's that track these indices are mandated to track this index without any slippage. When a stock is included in a index on a certain date like today's case for AVZ, any funds,ETF's who track the ASX200 &300 have to buy on the closing print today because as of monday AVZ is now part of this index. If they miss buying today on the closing print price and to give an example AVZ goes up 100% on Monday and AVZ's weight in the asx 200 index was 5%, the funds /ETF's would have underperformed asx 200 by 5%. This is not acceptable for passive tracking funds or ETF's.
Hope this helps explain ,,

Hi nut please put all in writing as I want to also go fishing it will give me extra time on the water if you do the researchThanks Micky
Appreciate that
Yes ol Donegal indicates they "have" to buy on the closing print (I assume auction)
I'll do a bit more digging as well to double check exactly what they (the index funds) can and can't do and when in relation to the rebalance
All good learning!
Cheers
