- An investor group is urging the SEC to scrutinize the SpaceX IPO, raising concerns that pension funds may unwillingly become exposed to a company whose value may decline post-IPO. This suggests potential institutional resistance to automatically investing in SpaceX, which could negatively impact the IPO's success and potentially weigh on market sentiment towards high-valuation, high-growth companies.
An investor group (SOC Investment Group) that advises pension funds said this: "We are specifically concerned that SpaceX's IPO will expose numerous investors – many unwillingly – to a company whose value may decline once its financial disclosures can be independently assessed and verified".
This indicates that institutions are now paying attention to the SpaceX IPO, and will likely take steps to protect their funds and their customers' funds from become SpaceX exit liquidity.
