All his questions are statements right from the book. This is international benchmarks end of book 4. Last one was corporate governance. There was an entire reading discussing the biggest index change ever. Msci moving from percent cap to free float.

"Reconstitution effects are detrimental to performance, although the underperformance does not show up in conventional performance evaluation as a negative alpha because the reconstitution effect affects the benchmark as well as the investor’s actual portfolio."

It affects the benchmark itself so we can't see it in a conventional performance evaluation.
