CalculationThe BSE constantly reviews and modifies its composition to be sure it reflects current market conditions. The indexis calculated based on a free float capitalisation method, a variation of the market capitalisation method. Instead ofusing a company's outstanding shares it uses its float, or shares that are readily available for trading. As per free floatcapitalisation methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the free float market value of 30component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalisation of a company is determined by multiplying theprice of its stock by the number of shares issued by of corporate actions, replacement of scrips, etc.The index has increased by over ten times from June 1990 to the present. Using information from April 1979onwards, the long-run rate of return on the S&P BSE SENSEX works out to be 18.6% per annum, which translatesto roughly 9% per annum.

Participatory notes issueOn 16 October 2007, SEBI (Securities & Exchange Board of India) proposed curbs on participatory notes whichaccounted for roughly 50% of FII investment in 2007. SEBI was not happy with P-notes because it was not possibleto know who owned the underlying securities, and hedge funds acting through P-notes might therefore causevolatility in the Indian markets.However the proposals of SEBI were not clear and this led to a knee-jerk crash when the markets opened on thefollowing day (17 October 2007).
