It tracks the performance of the 30 largest and most liquid companies listed on the stock exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must be wondering what a benchmark is. Well, a benchmark is a widely used standard to compare the returns generated by securities. Index as a benchmark depicts the overall health of the stock market, representing a substantial portion of the Indian market capitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider &#8216;SENSEX&#8217; as a basket containing the top 30 stocks in terms of size and trading activity. The price fluctuations showcase the combined performance of these companies and give you a general sense of how the Indian stock market is performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its value is calculated based on the free float-adjusted market capitalisation, i.e., the weightage of each company depends on its market cap but is adjusted for the portion of shares available for trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bse-all-cap\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BSE_All_Cap\"><\/span>BSE All Cap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8216;BSE All Cap&#8217; is a broader Index launched in 2015 that comprises the S&amp;P BSE Large Cap, the S&amp;P BSE Mid Cap, and the S&amp;P BSE Small Cap. It measures the performance of 1,170 companies that are listed on the stock exchange of different market capitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong><em>Did You Know?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market Capitalisation = Current Market Price of Shares * Total Number of Outstanding Shares<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For example, a company with 1 lakh outstanding shares, each valued at INR 100, would have a market cap of (1 lakh * INR 100) INR 1 crore.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/how-many-companies-are-listed-in-nse-and-bse\/\">How Many Companies Are Listed on NSE &amp; BSE?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sensex-vs-all-cap\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensex_vs_All_Cap\"><\/span>Sensex vs All Cap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cSensex\u201d tracks the performance of the 30 largest companies and is a basket of India\u2019s blue-chip stocks, whereas \u201cAll Cap\u201d tracks the performance of 1,170 companies across all market capitalisation and includes large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSensex\u201d is considered less volatile since its major focus is on large and established companies whose performance tends to be more stable, while \u201cAll Cap\u201d can be more volatile because of its broader market exposure and inclusion of small and growth-oriented companies with fluctuations in their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a look at the historical returns given by them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-historical-returns\">Historical Returns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u00a0Time Frame<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a0Sensex (%)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">All Cap\u00a0 (%)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&nbsp;1 Year<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;17.43<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;28.96<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">&nbsp;3 Year<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;13.51<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;18.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5 Year<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">14.44<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">17.05<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">10 Year<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12.84<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">15.04*<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*<em>Index launched on 15 April 2015<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/bse-sensex-vs-bse-all-cap-a-comparative-study\/\">BSE Sensex vs BSE All Cap?
