The Nifty Total Market Index represents 750 stocks listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The index tracks the performance of these 750 stocks across sectors and market caps, including large cap, mid cap, small cap and micro cap segments. The index gives a much broader view of the market compared to any other indices.
Stocks that are a part of the Nifty 500 index and the Nifty Microcap 250 index form a part of the Nifty Total market Index. Stock’s weight is based on its free-float market capitalisation. Rebalanced semi-annually, the index has given an average of 14.54% CAGR since inception.
This index doesn’t merely provide a glimpse into a segment of the market; it offers a comprehensive insight, capturing the variety of stocks.
Here's a breakdown of its main features:
A significant characteristic of this index is its approach to weightage. The weight of each stock in the index is based on its free float market capitalisation. It only counts the free-floating shares that the public can actually buy and sell. This means any shares that are held by the promoter of the company are not considered.
By using this method, it gives a more accurate picture of market movements for investors.
This index is reconstructed twice every year, in March and in September.
During this time, the components of the index are realigned with the Nifty Microcap 250 and the Nifty 500. This means if there have been any changes in the compositions of either of these indices, the Nifty Total Market Index also reflects that.
It tracks the performance of stocks across large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap segments. The index provides a more comprehensive view of the Indian equity market than any other indices.
This index is designed to offer a panoramic view of the Indian stock market. While other indices might focus on a select group of stocks, it broadens this perspective to include a wider spectrum.
