You could use the following in your view for an index action:

HTML

<!-- Define model type -->
@model string

<!-- Render model as a raw HTML content. -->
@Html.Raw(Model)

However I believe this should cause an issue when invoking that index action because a string model is causing the path's ambiguity.
As a workaround to this you could cast this string as an object when passing it to View and then call ToString on your Model.

But a better way would be to just use the following:

C#

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(new HtmlString("<div>hello</div>"));
}

HTML

@model HtmlString

@Model
