FTSE 100 Index

January 01, 1970

The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index, also called the FTSE 100 Index, FTSE 100, FTSE, or, informally, the "Footsie" /ˈfʊtsi/, is the United Kingdom's best-known stock market index of the 100 most highly capitalised blue chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.[1] Founded in 1984 by Stock Exchange to better reflect activity on the market, it replaced the Financial Times own FT 30.[2] A new index afforded Stock Exchange the opportunity to launch the options contract derived from the FTSE's real-time data while competitors LIFFE launched the futures contract.[3][4] With Thatcher's sweeping financial deregulation that culminated in Big Bang the combination of a new index, LIFFE tradable derivatives and promotion by the Financial Times lead to the FTSE 100 becoming the most widely used barometer of whether the UK stock market was rising or falling.[5]

The index consists of 32 sectors, four of which have a market cap exceeding £200 billion as at 3 May 2024. These are pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, metals and mining and banking services, which together account for approximately 47% of the index's market cap.[6] At the same date there were four companies with a market cap exceeding £100 billion: Shell, AstraZeneca, HSBC and Unilever, which together account for approximately 28% of the market cap.[6]

Each calendar quarter, the FTSE's constituents are reviewed and some companies will either exit or enter the index, resulting in irregular trading volume and price changes as market participants rebalance their portfolios.[7]

Overview edit

The index has trading symbol UKX[1] and is maintained by FTSE Russell,[8] a wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange Group, which originated as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange. It is calculated in real time and published every second when the market is open.

The FTSE 100 Index with its 100 constituents[8] was launched on 3 January 1984.[8][7] The market capitalisation weighted FTSE 100 index replaced the price-weighted FT30 Index as the performance benchmark for most investors.[9]

The FTSE 100 broadly consists of the largest 100 qualifying UK companies by full market value.[10] The total market value of a company is calculated by multiplying the share price of the company by the total number of shares they have issued.[11] However, many of these are internationally focused companies: therefore the index's movements are a fairly weak indicator of how the UK economy is faring and are significantly affected by the exchange rates of the pound sterling.[12] A better indication of the UK economy is the FTSE 250 Index, as it contains a smaller proportion of international companies.[13]

Even though the FTSE All-Share Index is more comprehensive, the FTSE 100 is by far the most widely used UK stock market indicator. Other related indices are the FTSE 250 Index (which includes the next largest 250 companies after the FTSE 100), the FTSE 350 Index (which is the aggregation of the FTSE 100 and 250), FTSE SmallCap Index and the FTSE Fledgling Index. The FTSE All-Share aggregates the FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and FTSE SmallCap.[1]

Weighting edit

In the FTSE indices, share prices are weighted by free-float capitalisation, so that the larger companies, with more of their stock "floating", make more of a difference to the index than smaller companies. The basic formula for these indices is:[14]

 

The free float adjustment factor represents the percentage of all issued shares that are readily available for trading, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5%. The free-float capitalisation of a company is its market capitalisation multiplied by its free float adjustment factor. It therefore does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by company insiders.[14]

Futures contracts edit

FTSE futures contracts are traded on the Euronext Equities & Index Derivatives (EUREID) exchange. The value of each contract is 10 GBP × index points and is specified as:[15]

FT 30 edit

Main article: FT 30

The oldest continuous index in the UK is the FT 30, also known as the Financial Times Index or the FT Ordinary Index (FTOI).[207] It was established in 1935 and nowadays is largely obsolete due to its redundancy. It is similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and companies listed are from the industrial and commercial sectors. Financial sector companies and government stocks are excluded.

Of the original constituents,[208] three are currently in the FTSE 100: Tate & Lyle, Imperial Tobacco and Rolls-Royce, although Rolls-Royce has not been continuously listed and Imperial Tobacco was a subsidiary of Hanson for a number of years, and is now renamed as Imperial Brands. Only one of the original FT 30 companies is still in that index:[209] Tate & Lyle (membership is not strictly based on market capitalisation, so this does not mean they are necessarily among the top thirty companies in the FTSE 100). The best performer from the original lineup has been Imperial Tobacco.[210]

The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index also called the FTSE 100 Index FTSE 100 FTSE or informally the Footsie ˈ f ʊ t s i is the United Kingdom s best known stock market index of the 100 most highly capitalised blue chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange 1 Founded in 1984 by Stock Exchange to better reflect activity on the market it replaced the Financial Times own FT 30 2 A new index afforded Stock Exchange the opportunity to launch the options contract derived from the FTSE s real time data while competitors LIFFE launched the futures contract 3 4 With Thatcher s sweeping financial deregulation that culminated in Big Bang the combination of a new index LIFFE tradable derivatives and promotion by the Financial Times lead to the FTSE 100 becoming the most widely used barometer of whether the UK stock market was rising or falling 5 FTSE 100Performance of the FTSE 100 index between January 1984 and April 2024Foundation3 January 1984OperatorFTSE

cap exceeding 200 billion as at 3 May 2024 These are pharmaceuticals oil amp gas metals and mining and banking services which together account for approximately 47 of the index s market cap 6 At the same date there were four companies with a market cap exceeding 100 billion Shell AstraZeneca HSBC and Unilever which together account for approximately 28 of the market cap 6 Each calendar quarter the FTSE s constituents are reviewed and some companies will either exit or enter the index resulting in irregular trading volume and price changes as market participants rebalance their portfolios 7

index has trading symbol UKX 1 and is maintained by FTSE Russell 8 a wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange Group which originated as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange It is calculated in real time and published every second when the market is open The FTSE 100 Index with its 100 constituents 8 was launched on 3 January 1984 8 7 The market capitalisation weighted FTSE 100 index replaced the price weighted FT30 Index as the performance benchmark for most investors 9 The FTSE 100 broadly consists of the largest 100 qualifying UK companies by full market value 10 The total market value of a company is calculated by multiplying the share price of the company by the total number of shares they have issued 11 However many of these are internationally focused companies therefore the index s movements are a fairly weak indicator of how the UK economy is faring and are significantly affected by the exchange rates of the pound sterling 12 A better indication of the UK economy is the FTSE 250 Index as it contains a smaller proportion of international companies 13 Even though the FTSE All Share Index is more comprehensive the FTSE 100 is by far the most widely used UK stock market indicator Other related indices are the FTSE 250 Index which includes the next largest 250 companies after the FTSE 100 the FTSE 350 Index which is the aggregation of the FTSE 100 and 250 FTSE SmallCap Index and the FTSE Fledgling Index The FTSE All Share aggregates the FTSE 100 FTSE 250 and FTSE SmallCap 1 Weighting edit In the FTSE indices share prices are weighted by free float capitalisation so that the larger companies with more of their stock floating make more of a difference to the index than smaller companies The basic formula for these indices is 14 I n d e x l e v e l i P r i c e o f s t o c k i N u m b e r o f s h a r e s i F r e e f l o a t a d j u s t m e n t f a c t o r i I n d e x d i v i s o r displaystyle mathrm Index level frac sum i mathrm Price of stock i times mathrm Number of shares i times mathrm Free float adjustment factor i mathrm Index divisor nbsp The free float adjustment factor represents the percentage of all issued shares that are readily available for trading rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 The free float capitalisation of a company is its market capitalisation multiplied by its free float adjustment factor It therefore does not include restricted stocks such as those held by company insiders 14 Futures contracts edit FTSE futures contracts are traded on the Euronext Equities
