BSE Caps:

No we aren't talking about bowling hats or the golf kinds :) These are the divisions of the scrips on the BSE according to their market capitalization. Here are some of the facts about the BSE Mid cap and small cap.

• The BSE mid cap and small cap index series were created to include companies with relatively less market capitalization.
• The BSE Midcap index which is updated everyday currently shows its current market capitalization is 750,267.16 Crores (full).
• Some of the scrips included in the mid cap are Tata Chemicals, IDBI Bank.
• The BSE small cap index is also updated daily and currently shows its market capitalization to be 260,875.24 Crores (full).
• Some of the scrips included in the small cap are Aptech, Hexaware, Prism cement etc.
• The BSE large cap are the companies with the most market capitalization.
• The segment is divided as 80% for large cap, 15% for mid cap and 5% for small cap.
• Investing in small cap and mid cap segments is feasible for investors like me who have just entered this system as the share price is an affordable range.

Now its to be seen which feathers feature in my cap :D
