S&P refuses to add companies with dual-class stock to the S&P 500 or other benchmarks they control (Facebook was grandfathered in).
But I try to invest my 401(k) according to what I understand of academic research, and they never mention the importance of avoiding dual-class stock ( https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm ). I understand that some people have personal crusades about this or other questions of corporate governance; but those are their crusades, not mine, and they aren’t responsible for my financial well-being.
