CRSP is changing the index VTI tracks

I wasn't familiar with the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP). Apparently they were acquired by Morningstar in February 2026. I also found this press release from Vanguard announcing they will be updating fund names (including VTI) to reflect the acquisition https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/corporatesite/us/en/c... but nothing on the fund composition or rule changes.

CRSP has had fast track rules for quite a while.

They changed their minimum float rule for these mega IPOs with low float.

Sorry so CRSP will be fast-tracking SpaceX? I just checked and my Vanguard has 50% in that so would like to understand how exposed...

According to their methodology, they will be fast tracking SpaceX (after five days).

The index is float adjusted so its initial weight in the index will be relatively low.

I feel like you need at least one of the two rules (time, float)
