What are Indices?
A stock market index is a hypothetical portfolio that consists of a collection of stocks, which represents the broad market or a particular sector of the market. An index helps us measure the performance of the market or an individual sector within the market. For instance, the Nifty 50 is a benchmark stock market for India and represents the top 50 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange.
How to Trade in Indices?
With an active trading and Demat account, one can decide between trading cash indices or derivatives like futures and options through platforms such as the ICICI Direct website and the ICICI Direct app. One can also invest in stock market indices for longer periods through ETFs or Index Funds that track stock market indices such as any Nifty 50 ETF or Nifty 50 Index Fund.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a benchmark index?
A benchmark stock market index acts as a ‘standard’ or a ‘reference point’ that can be used to compare the performance of an investment. For instance, let’s say investor A’s portfolio rose 0.77% on 10th March as opposed to the benchmark, which only rose 0.62%.
Benchmark indices often represent the overall market (Nifty) as opposed to a specific sector within the market (Bank Nifty).
What are the major stock market indices in India?
Nifty (NSE) and Sensex (BSE) are the two major stock market indices in India. However, there are other popular sectoral indices such as Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma, etc.
How are stocks added or removed from stock market indices?
Stocks are added and removed from stock market indices through a process called “index rebalancing”, which generally happens after set intervals. Factors such as market capitalisation, liquidity, and sectoral representation often play a part. For Nifty, stocks are added or removed based on the free-float market capitalisation over a 6-month period.
When are changes made to the Nifty 50 index?
Nifty 50 is shuffled twice a year; primarily based on 6-month data ending on 31st January and 31st July. The changes reflect every year in March and September respectively.
