BSE 500
The BSE 500 Index is a comprehensive stock market index launched in August 1999 by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It tracks the performance of the top 500 companies based on float-adjusted market capitalization and trading volume. Covering over 93% of the BSE's total market capitalization, the index represents a broad spectrum of 20 major sectors, including large, mid, and small-cap companies.
This diversity provides investors with a holistic view of the Indian economy and helps reduce risk by spreading investments across various industries. The BSE 500 is rebalanced semi-annually, making it an ideal benchmark for tracking market trends and a popular tool for launching ETFs and index funds.
What is the BSE 500 Index?
The S&P BSE 500 Index extends the coverage of the BSE 200 by including the top 500 stocks ranked by trading volume and free-float market capitalization. These stocks are selected from the S&P BSE All Cap index, covering over 93% of the total market capitalization on the BSE.
Unlike the BSE 200, which focuses on large-cap companies, the BSE 500 provides a more comprehensive view of the Indian economy by including companies from 20 major sectors. Initially, the index used the full market capitalization method, but it switched to the free-float market cap method in August 2005, making it a valuable tool for investors seeking a broader market perspective.
How is the BSE 500 Index Value Calculated?
The S&P BSE 500 Index is calculated using the free-float market capitalization method, which differs from the older weighted method. In this approach, only the shares available for trading are included, excluding those held by employees, the government, and others.
The formula for free-float market capitalization is:
Free-Float Market Capitalization = Market Capitalization * Free Float Factor
where the free float factor represents the percentage of shares available for trading.
To calculate the BSE 500 share price, the formula is:
BSE 500 Share Price = (Total Free-Float Market Capitalization * Base Index Value) / Base Market Capitalization.
BSE 500 Scrip Selection Criteria
The BSE 500 Index includes the top 500 companies listed on the BSE, ranked by float-adjusted market capitalization, which considers only the freely tradable shares, excluding those held by insiders like employees, promoters, or the government.
The index is rebalanced twice a year, in June and December, with new companies added or removed based on specific criteria. To be included, companies must be part of the BSE All Cap Index for at least 6 months, traded on more than 80% of sessions in the last six months, and have an average traded value of over ₹100 crores.
