The Bombay Stock Exchange is India’s oldest stock exchange, and is constantly striving to make trading more convenient for all the traders using it. The various indices formulated by BSE tend to make trading more transparent and rules-based, thus, reducing fraud and foul play. This makes it a fair ground for all traders in the market.
BSE divides all the companies registered under it into three categories, based on their relative market capitalisations. These categories include- LARGECAP, MIDCAP and SMALLCAP. This helps traders know about the safest stocks and invest in companies with market holdings.
The S&P BSE MIDCAP SELECT index is a rules-based, transparent index designed to measure the performance of the top 30 companies listed in BSE MIDCAP. These companies are more volatile compared to the LARGECAP companies, and investing here may involve bigger risks.
The value of the BSE MIDCAP SELECT index depends on the S&P BSE MIDCAP SELECT share price, which keeps on changing and is very dynamic based on the market trends.
The division between companies into LARGECAP, MIDCAP and SMALLCAP is based on the 80-15-5 segment rule, where the numbers represent the percentage of the total market cap of BSE ALLCAP.
The BSE MIDCAP SELECT index helps to know about the performance of the top 30 companies in BSE MIDCAP. The segregation between MIDCAP, SMALLCAP and LARGECAP is based on their market holding and the valuation of the company. It is as follows-
Investing in LARGECAP shares is the safest as these companies have attained financial maturity and are not volatile. MIDCAP companies, on the other hand, may be volatile and involve greater risks.
The value of the S&P BSE MIDCAP SELECT index changes with a change in the value of the BSE MIDCAP SELECT share price. The share price is calculated as follows-
BSE MIDCAP SELECT Share Price =
Total Free-Float Market Capitalisation x Base Index Value / Base Market Capitalisation
Here the total free float market capitalisation of the top 30 MIDCAP companies is taken into consideration.
The companies listed here must have liquid funds, a clean market sheet, and a valuation between 20,000 crores INR to 5,000 crores INR. The company must generate revenue from core activities and must be listed with BSE for a year or more.
Investing in these companies will be definitely safer than other MIDCAP companies as they offer more financial stability. Having said that, make sure you check the index before investing, as the values keep changing periodically and are very dynamic.
