Index inclusion and reconstitution effects
Choose add/delete and enter passive demand as float, price sensitivity, reversal, notional and costs.

Benchmark changes require tracking funds to adjust holdings around announcements and effective dates, potentially creating predictable demand. Index-provider selection, anticipation, arbitrage capital, tracking error and market size all shape price effects; some studies find the effect has weakened. This simulation uses manual demand and impact assumptions.

Understand the story. Then inspect the risk.

Start with a familiar situation, check the payoff, then test how the numbers change.

The idea · in two minutes

What remains from an assumed passive-demand impact after reversal and costs for an add or deletion?
