On: In Snap IPO, New Investors to Get Zero Votes While Founders Keep Control

[bsder]

I'm normally one to say "Disclose and no foul", but the problem is how do you distinguish these shares when they are one or two levels deeper.

I don't really want one of these stocks in my index fund, but I'm stuck with Google (who also runs like this) generally being part of such a thing.

I don't see why you would care about voting rights in an index fund. But anyway, if you don't like such stocks, you should probably avoid index funds altogether. You have no control over what is in the index -- some indexes change frequently, and some index funds switch to different indexes.
