For index calculation, the index committee chooses a set of small-cap stocks based on certain criteria, such as market capitalisation, liquidity, and other factors. For each selected stock, the market capitalisation is calculated by multiplying its present market price with the number of outstanding shares. The index usually considers only the free float market capitalisation, which is the portion of shares available for trading in the market. The index value is then calculated by aggregating the market capitalisations of all the constituent stocks.
