What is FinNifty Forecast?

Stock market indexes are collections of selected stocks that typically represent a specific sector. They reflect the performance of the underlying stocks and allow you to invest in a diversified portfolio. As a result, if stock prices rise, the index increases as well. There are many indices in the Indian Stock Market and the top two are BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty. FinNifty is another index representing the financial market performance in the Indian economy.

FinNifty is the Nifty Financial Services Index. This index was established in January 2021 and includes various financial stocks.

Constituents of FinNifty

Constituent means the stock of a company that is included in the index and helps in determining the index value. Each constituent’s weight in the overall index is determined by market capitalization. The FinNifty index is built using the free float market capitalization approach. In this approach, a company’s valuation is based only on the outstanding shares held by the public. Shares owned by promoters, trusts, government, directors, etc. are not taken into consideration. The base value of this index is 1000.

Free float market capitalization = Outstanding shares X Price X IWF

Here, IWF is the Investible Weight Factor, where greater IWF indicates that there are more shares listed under public shareholding. Each stock’s weight is determined by the free float market capitalization factor and the weightage keeps changing. Every six months, this weightage will be rebalanced. This index is administered by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and stocks for this index are chosen using a long process.
