Impacts of Index Inclusion on Countries and Capital Flows

When the S&P 500 finally let Tesla join the index a few years ago, its stock soared. Similarly, the fortunes of countries have changed when their debt and equities have been included on one index or another.

Also we go long the FTSE 100 and short El Salvador’s debt cycle.
