How is the Value of Nifty MNC Calculated?
The value of the Nifty MNC index is calculated using the free-float market capitalisation-weighted methodology. This essentially means that only the shares available for public trading are considered when determining each company's weight in the index. Shares held by the promoters, restricted shares, and shares earmarked for employee stock options are excluded.
The mathematical formula used for the calculation of the Nifty MNC index value is as follows:
Nifty MNC Index Value = [Free-Float Market Cap of All Index Constituents ÷ (Base Index Value * Base Free-Float Market Cap)]
Here, the base index value is 1,000 and the base free-float market capitalisation represents the free-float market cap of all the index’s constituents as of the base date of January 02, 1995.
The Nifty MNC index is reviewed and rebalanced semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 respectively. The periodic review and rebalancing of the index ensures that it accurately tracks and reflects the performance of multinational companies with promoter shareholding of more than 50%.
