The '''FTSE 100 Index''', also called '''FTSE 100''', '''FTSE''', or, informally, the '''"footsie"'''<nowiki></nowiki> {{IPAc-en|ˈ|f|ʊ|t|s|iː}}, is a [[Stock market index|share index]] of the 100&nbsp;[[company|companies]] listed on the [[London Stock Exchange]] with the highest [[market capitalization]]. It is one of the most widely used stock indices and is seen as a gauge of business prosperity for business regulated by [[UK company law]]. The index is maintained by the [[FTSE Group]], a subsidiary of the [[London Stock Exchange Group]].


Here is my website; clash of clans hack no survey ([http://prometeu.net click through the next internet site])
The index began on 3&nbsp;January&nbsp;1984 at the base level of 1000; the highest value reached to date is 6950.6, on 30&nbsp;December&nbsp;1999. After falling during the [[financial crisis of 2007-2010]] to below 3500 in March&nbsp;2009, the index recovered to a peak of 6091.33 on 8&nbsp;February&nbsp;2011, [[August 2011 stock markets fall|fell]] under the 5000&nbsp;mark on the morning of 23&nbsp;September&nbsp;2011, but reached 6,840.27 (its highest since September 2000) on 22&nbsp;May&nbsp;2013.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/10069407/FTSE-100-closes-at-highest-level-since-September-2000.html FTSE 100 closes at highest level since September 2000]</ref>
 
== Overview ==
 
The index is maintained by the FTSE Group, a now wholly owned subsidiary of the [[London Stock Exchange]] which originated as a joint venture between the ''[[Financial Times]]'' and the London Stock Exchange. It is calculated in [[Real-time computing|real time]] and published every 15&nbsp;seconds when the market is open.
 
The FTSE 100 consists of the largest 100 qualifying UK companies by full market value.<ref>[http://www.ftse.com/Indices/UK_Indices/Downloads/uk_indexrules.pdf Ground Rules for the Management of The UK Series of the FTSE Actuaries Share Indices (section 5)]</ref> The constituents of the index are determined quarterly, on the Wednesday after the first Friday of the month in March, June, September and December. The values used to make the changes to the indices are taken at the close of business the night before the review.<ref>[http://www.ftse.co.uk/Media_Centre/Press_Packs/uk_review.jsp FTSE UK Quarterly Review]</ref>
 
FTSE&nbsp;100 companies represent about 81% of the entire market capitalisation of the London Stock Exchange. Even though the [[FTSE All-Share Index]] is more comprehensive, the FTSE&nbsp;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&nbsp;100), the [[FTSE&nbsp;350 Index]] (which is the aggregation of the FTSE&nbsp;100 and 250), [[FTSE&nbsp;SmallCap Index]] and [[FTSE Fledgling Index]]. The FTSE All-Share aggregates the FTSE&nbsp;100, FTSE&nbsp;250 and FTSE&nbsp;SmallCap.
 
Component companies must meet a number of requirements set out by the [[FTSE Group]], including having a full listing on the London Stock Exchange with a Sterling or Euro denominated price on the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service, and meeting certain tests on nationality, [[public float|free float]], and liquidity.
 
Continuous trading on the London Stock Exchange starts at 08:00 and ends at 16:30 (when the closing auction starts), and closing values are taken at 16:35.
 
===Weighting===
In the FTSE indices, share prices are weighted by market capitalisation, so that the larger companies make more of a difference to the index than smaller companies. The basic formula for these indices is:<ref>[[Wikinvest: FTSE 100|FTSE Capitalisation methodology via Wikinvest]]</ref>
 
: <math>
\text{Index level}=\frac{\sum_i(\text{Price of stock}_i\times\text{Number of shares}_i)\times\text{Free float adjustment factor}_i}{\text{Index divisor}}
</math>
 
The '''Free float Adjustment factor''' represents the percentage of all issued shares that are readily available for trading. The factor is then rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5%. To find the free-float capitalisation of a company, first find its market cap (number of shares x share price) then multiply by its free-float factor. Free-float capitalisation, therefore, does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by company insiders.
 
==Constituents by market capitalisation as of 5 March 2013==
The following table lists the FTSE 100 companies measured by market capitalisation as of 5 March 2013.<ref>See '[http://www.stockchallenge.co.uk/ftse.php FTSE All-Share Index Ranking (unofficial guide)]'</ref><ref>See also, {{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/8371481/Top-ten-most-valuable-companies-in-the-FTSE-100-in-pictures.html|title=Top ten most valuable companies in the FTSE 100: in pictures |accessdate=16 April 2011|work=The Telegraph|date=10 March 2011}}</ref> The numbers of employees are taken from company reports, mostly dated between 2011 and 2012. The index consists of 100 companies, but there are 101&nbsp;listings, as [[Royal Dutch Shell]] has both A and B class shares listed. [[Schroders]] Non Voting shares were also listed until 1 June 2012 when the FTSE's stricter rules came into force.

Template:Infobox Index The FTSE 100 Index, also called FTSE 100, FTSE, or, informally, the "footsie" Template:IPAc-en, is a share index of the 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalization. It is one of the most widely used stock indices and is seen as a gauge of business prosperity for business regulated by UK company law. The index is maintained by the FTSE Group, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group.

The index began on 3 January 1984 at the base level of 1000; the highest value reached to date is 6950.6, on 30 December 1999. After falling during the financial crisis of 2007-2010 to below 3500 in March 2009, the index recovered to a peak of 6091.33 on 8 February 2011, fell under the 5000 mark on the morning of 23 September 2011, but reached 6,840.27 (its highest since September 2000) on 22 May 2013.[1]

The index is maintained by the FTSE Group, a now wholly owned subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange which originated as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange. It is calculated in real time and published every 15 seconds when the market is open.

The FTSE 100 consists of the largest 100 qualifying UK companies by full market value.[2] The constituents of the index are determined quarterly, on the Wednesday after the first Friday of the month in March, June, September and December. The values used to make the changes to the indices are taken at the close of business the night before the review.[3]

FTSE 100 companies represent about 81% of the entire market capitalisation of the London Stock Exchange. 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 FTSE Fledgling Index. The FTSE All-Share aggregates the FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and FTSE SmallCap.

Component companies must meet a number of requirements set out by the FTSE Group, including having a full listing on the London Stock Exchange with a Sterling or Euro denominated price on the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service, and meeting certain tests on nationality, free float, and liquidity.

Continuous trading on the London Stock Exchange starts at 08:00 and ends at 16:30 (when the closing auction starts), and closing values are taken at 16:35.

Weighting

In the FTSE indices, share prices are weighted by market capitalisation, so that the larger companies make more of a difference to the index than smaller companies. The basic formula for these indices is:[4]

The Free float Adjustment factor represents the percentage of all issued shares that are readily available for trading. The factor is then rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5%. To find the free-float capitalisation of a company, first find its market cap (number of shares x share price) then multiply by its free-float factor. Free-float capitalisation, therefore, does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by company insiders.

Constituents by market capitalisation as of 5 March 2013

The following table lists the FTSE 100 companies measured by market capitalisation as of 5 March 2013.[5][6] The numbers of employees are taken from company reports, mostly dated between 2011 and 2012. The index consists of 100 companies, but there are 101 listings, as Royal Dutch Shell has both A and B class shares listed. Schroders Non Voting shares were also listed until 1 June 2012 when the FTSE's stricter rules came into force.

When clients ask concerning the subsequent batch of items for launch, gross sales representatives might hint that subsequent phases will supply items with poorer view or lower high quality finishings, even if they are offered at greater prices. Tempted patrons are often unaware that the value of those goodies can easily be offset by a slight drop in the property's market worth. It is due to this fact more sensible to get an immediate discount off the listing worth. Ask the gross sales consultant the estimated value of that branded equipment or furnishing package, then request for a direct deduction from the unit's asking price in lieu of the developer's goodie.

FT 30

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The oldest continuous index in the UK is the FT 30, also known as the Financial Times Index or the FT Ordinary Index (FTOI).[171] 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,[172] four are currently in the FTSE 100: Guest Keen & Nettlefolds (GKN), 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. ICI was removed when it was taken over by Akzo Nobel in January 2008. Two of the original FT 30 companies are still in that index:[173] GKN and 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.[174]
