The makeup of midcap

The Nifty midcap 150 index represents potential blue chips early that are riding the growth wave. Instead of trying to pick a handful of winners yourself, you invest in 150 at once through a fund that tracks the index. Here’s how it works:

How are these stocks selected?

  • They are the companies ranked from 101 to 250 by full market capitalization from the Nifty 500 index.
  • This index intends to measure the performance of mid-market capitalisation companies.

The Index mix

  • The proportion each company occupies in the fund is decided using a measurement called free-float market capitalization.
  • This takes into account only stocks listed on NSE.

Rebalancing

  • A semi-annual review is conducted in March and September, based on data from last 6 months.
  • This ensures the index is adjusted regularly as companies and the market evolve.

Why choose midcaps?

Midcap companies ride on big ambition and agility. Often operating in high-growth sectors, they are known for broad exposures across sectors.

Pro tip: Midcap investments need patience. Staying invested through market ups and downs could help you ride the wave.
