Financial products on IISL Indices

IISL maintains, develops, compiles and disseminates entire gamut of equity indices. Licensing is mandatory for tracking the performance of an IISL Index. Licensing is also required for use of the name of IISL or S&P CNX or CNX or any IISL Index. Fees for licensing would vary according to the type of the product and the period.

CNX ensures common branding of indices, to reflect the identities of both the promoters, i.e. NSE and CRISIL. Thus, 'C' stands for CRISIL, 'N' stands for NSE . The S&P prefix belongs to the US-based Standard & Poor's Financial Information Services.

IISL indices are useful for fund managers, corporates, brokers and all such enterprises connected with investments in the equity markets. These indices can be used for tracking the markets, understanding the performance of a company vis-a-vis the market, determining how an investor’s portfolio is performing as compared to the market, trading derivative products and most importantly for development of index based funds by mutual funds.
