The index is the consolidated view of the performance of the Stock Market. Let us take the example of the Bombay stock exchange BSE. The index of the BSE is called the Sensex.

Though there are 1000s of companies listed in the BSE, the top 30 companies in the BSE form the sensex index. A weighted average of the prices of these 30 companies is used as an indicative value of the performance of all the companies in the exchange.

How do you calculate the NSE-20 share index?

The NSE-20 share index is calculated using a market capitalization-weighted formula, which reflects the performance of the top 20 companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The index value is derived by taking the total market capitalization of the selected companies and dividing it by a base market capitalization value, multiplied by a scaling factor to ensure the index is easily interpretable. Changes in stock prices, shares outstanding, and other market adjustments are factored in to provide an accurate reflection of market performance. Regular reviews ensure the index remains representative of the market.

Which are better market cap weighted index funds or equal weight index funds?

Market weight index funds weight the individual company's within the index by market capitalization (shares outstanding multiplied by share price). Equal weight index funds give equal weight in the fund to each company, regardless of its share price. When measuring the performance of each of these types of index funds there is no clear winner. Researchers Dash and Loggie found each type of fund outperformed during different market conditions. The S & P 500 equal weight index fund underperformed the market capitalization weighted fund during strong markets but seemed to perform better than the market cap weighted fund during weak markets.
