What is Nifty Smallcap 100?

 

The Nifty Smallcap 100 is a stock market index on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that tracks the performance of 100 small-cap companies. These are firms ranked from 251 to 350 based on full market capitalisation within the Nifty 500 universe. The index is considered a benchmark for investors seeking exposure to the small-cap segment of the Indian equity market.

 

It offers a diversified view of businesses operating at the smaller end of the market capitalisation spectrum. The Nifty Smallcap 100 includes companies from multiple sectors, making it an essential tool for assessing the overall performance of small-cap stocks. Investors and analysts use it to track trends, design mutual funds, or benchmark their own portfolios focused on emerging and growth-oriented companies.

 

History of Nifty Smallcap 100

 

The Nifty Smallcap 100 index was launched by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 2005 to provide investors with a reliable measure of the performance of small-cap companies in India. Initially created to complement other broad-market indices like the Nifty 50 and Nifty Midcap 100, it offered a clearer insight into the small-cap segment.

 

Over the years, the index has evolved to include sectoral diversification and better representation. The Nifty Smallcap 100 has witnessed several economic and market cycles, including the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 market shock. Its performance often reflects high volatility and growth potential, typical of small-cap investments. Today, it is a crucial barometer for gauging the health of India’s small-cap ecosystem.

 

Why do we need Nifty Smallcap 100?

 

The Nifty Smallcap 100 helps investors understand how smaller companies are performing within the broader Indian economy. These firms often offer higher growth potential but come with greater risk. The index makes it easier to evaluate small-cap trends without analysing each stock individually, saving time and effort for investors.

 

It is also used as a benchmark for small-cap mutual funds, portfolio performance tracking, and economic research. With sectoral diversity and representation, the index captures the dynamism of emerging enterprises. Without it, investors would lack a unified and systematic way to measure the performance of this volatile yet rewarding market segment.

 

How does Nifty Smallcap 100 work?

 

The Nifty Smallcap 100 functions like most equity indices. It includes 100 small-cap stocks selected based on market capitalisation and liquidity criteria. The stocks are reviewed semi-annually, and changes are made based on eligibility and performance. This ensures that the index stays relevant and representative of the small-cap universe.

 

It is calculated using the free-float market capitalisation method. Only actively traded shares held by the public are considered. The performance of the index is tracked on a real-time basis during trading hours and is widely used by asset managers and individual investors to construct small-cap-focused investment strategies.

 

How is Nifty Smallcap 100 calculated?

 

  1. The index is based on the free-float market capitalisation methodology.
  2. Market capitalisation = Share price × Number of outstanding shares (free-float only).
  3. Stocks ranked from 251 to 350 within the Nifty 500 universe are considered.
  4. Liquidity and trading frequency over a 6-month period are checked.
  5. The index is reviewed semi-annually in March and September.
  6. Weightage is given in proportion to each stock’s market capitalisation.
  7. The base value is fixed for reference, and index values change with market movement.
  8. Only stocks listed on the NSE are eligible.
  9. The inclusion and exclusion of stocks depend on free-float changes and volume data.
  10. Adjustments are made for corporate actions like mergers, splits, and rights issues.

 

Interpreting India Nifty Smallcap 100

 

  1. A rising index indicates strong performance among small-cap stocks.
  2. A falling index suggests weak investor sentiment in the small-cap space.
  3. High volatility reflects sensitivity to economic and market events.
  4. Useful for tracking early-stage company performance trends.
  5. Helps assess retail investor confidence, as they often favour small-caps.
  6. Can indicate sector-specific momentum in industries dominated by small companies.
  7. A higher return compared to large-cap indices may signal high-growth phases.
  8. A declining index during market rallies may highlight risk aversion.
  9. Analysts use it to gauge speculative interest in the market.
  10. Used alongside other indices to build diversified investment strategies.

  2. Offers diversification across various small-scale industries and sectors.
  3. Enables easier tracking of the small-cap segment for research and analysis.

How to access Nifty Smallcap 100?

 

Investors can access the Nifty Smallcap 100 index in several ways. The most common method is through small-cap mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the index. These instruments replicate the index composition and aim to deliver similar returns, offering easy entry for retail investors.

 

Alternatively, investors may view index performance on financial platforms, the NSE website, or brokerage dashboards. Advanced investors can build customised portfolios based on the index stocks. Real-time and historical data for the Nifty Smallcap 100 are also accessible through financial data providers and trading applications for analysis and strategy building.

 

Real-world example

 

Consider an investor looking to diversify their portfolio with high-growth stocks in India. Instead of picking individual small-cap shares, they invest in a mutual fund that tracks the Nifty Smallcap 100. Over the years, the fund provides exposure to high-potential businesses across industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and IT.

 

During a market uptrend, the investor observes the fund delivering higher returns than large-cap benchmarks. Even though volatility is high, the long-term growth prospects of small companies pay off. This real-world example illustrates how the index serves as both a performance indicator and a foundation for investment in smaller, fast-growing businesses.

 

Tips for investing in Nifty Smallcap 100

 

  1. Understand that small-cap stocks carry higher risk and potential returns.
  2. Use SIPs or staggered investments to manage volatility.
  3. Stay invested for the long term to ride out market cycles.
  4. Avoid timing the market based on short-term movements.
  5. Monitor index constituents and fund performance regularly.
  6. Diversify beyond small-caps to balance portfolio risk.
  7. Choose funds with low expense ratios when investing via mutual funds or ETFs.
  8. Be cautious during market downturns as small-caps fall harder.
  9. Align investment goals with the risk profile of small-cap exposure.

Use expert analysis and research tools before making investment decisions.
