Dow Jones Changes Could Impact Investor Portfolios

In the last week of August, the Dow Jones Industrial Average announced that it was making its largest component reconstitution since 2013. The decision was triggered by Apple's recent stock split announcement, but the management of the index also made changes to sector weighting to reflect the evolving American economy.

Index reconstitutions are interesting events that can impact returns for index funds and influence demand for both new entrants and those stocks exiting.
