The FTSE 100 (Financial Times Stock Exchange 100) stock market index comprises the 100 largest companies (market capitalisation weighted) listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The FTSE 100 is not part of a stock exchange, although its co-owners include the London Stock Exchange and the Financial Times newspaper. It is often called the ‘footsie’ 100. The price of the index reflects the average of the share prices of the companies which make up the index.
