Nifty Smallcap 100

The Nifty midcap 100 index reflects the midcap segment of the share market. The index includes 100 tradable stocks listed on the NSE. The free float market capitalisation method becomes compatible with computing this index. 
The Nifty midcap 100 index launched on July 18, 2005. It can be used for various purposes, including benchmarking fund portfolios and launching ETFs, structured products, and index funds. While the calculation of the index is in real-time, the Nifty midcap 100 is rebalanced semi-annually. 
 

The Nifty Smallcap 100 Index represents 100 small-cap firms in the Indian stock market. It is meant to display the performance of small-cap enterprises in the Nifty 500 universe.

Instead of concentrating on a particular industry, the index offers exposure to several sectors. As a result, investors can use it as a general measure of the performance of small-cap markets.

The index uses the free-float market capitalisation method. Under this method, companies with a larger free-float market capitalisation generally have a greater influence on the index.

The basic calculation considers the market value of eligible shares available for public trading. The index value is then adjusted using the prescribed index divisor to account for corporate actions and other changes.

This method helps maintain continuity in the index when events such as stock splits, bonus issues or other corporate actions occur.

Companies need to meet specific eligibility conditions before being considered for the index. These conditions generally cover factors such as:

• Market capitalisation
• Liquidity
• Trading frequency
• Listing history
• Availability of shares for trading
• Eligibility within the relevant Nifty index universe

The index is examined on a regular basis, therefore its constituents may change if companies no longer match the required requirements or if new suitable companies become available.

The index monitors the 100 components' combined performance. The index may rise in response to increases in these companies' share prices. A decline across its constituents can pull the index lower.

However, all companies do not have an equal impact on the index. Companies with higher free-float market capitalisation have a greater weight.

The index can therefore provide a useful snapshot of the broader small-cap segment while still reflecting the performance of its larger constituents.

Investing in products that track the index can offer several potential benefits:

• It provides exposure to 100 small-cap companies through one investment.
• It offers diversification across multiple companies and sectors.
• It can reduce the need to select individual small-cap stocks.
• Small-cap companies may have greater growth potential over the long term.
• Index-based products follow a defined methodology rather than depending on individual stock selection.

The Nifty Smallcap 100 index was introduced as a small cap index in India. It is one of the bigger groups of Nifty indices that monitor various sectors of the Indian equities market.

The make-up of the index can also evolve over time as small-cap may evolve over time as the market capitalisation and business performance of the companies evolve. Investors need to be aware that history is not a reliable predictor of future performance.

Several factors can affect the movement of the index:

• Corporate earnings and revenue growth
• Interest rate movements
• Domestic economic growth
• Investor sentiment
• Foreign and domestic institutional flows
• Sector-specific developments
• Inflation and liquidity conditions
• Changes in small-cap valuations
