FT Index  

Definition

  • The FTSE (pronounced “footsie”), or the Financial Times Stock Exchange Index, is a share index of the 100 most highly capitalized companies on the London Stock Exchange, and is maintained by the FTSE Group, an independent group that originated as a joint venture between the LSE and the Financial Times, a United Kingdom-based newspaper. The FTSE replaces the FT 30, which measured the daily movement of 30 major stocks on the LSE, as the most used index of the British stock market.
