The Financial Times Stock Exchange Index 100 (FTSE 100), known as \"Footsie\" in trading circles, is one of the leading stock indices in Europe. The FTSE Group calculates its value from the stock prices of the foremost 100 companies in the UK, whose securities are actively traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companies included in the FTSE 100 account for approximately 80% of the total LSE capitalisation. The index composition is reviewed quarterly, with more substantial companies in terms of market capitalisation, liquidity, and profitability replacing the weaker ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
