The BSE healthcare index is a collection of stocks and not a security that is traded on any stock exchange. Hence, we cannot buy it directly.
However, there are ways in which one can invest in the BSE healthcare index.
One can invest in index funds or ETFs representing the index or buying future and options for it.
Well, it depends on what your goals are.
Having said that, the two key indices to track are the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty.
However, these two indices are considered to be too narrow by some, since they only track 30 and 50 stocks, respectively.
For broader tracking, you could use the BSE 200, BSE 500 or even the NSE 500 index.
Some popular market cap based indices include BSE Smallcap index and BSE Midcap index, among others.
Although the benchmark indices opened higher, they traded positive throughout the session and ultimately closed green.
