What is the FTSE 100?

The FTSE Group (trading as FTSE Russell) is a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Group that maintains the index.
While the FTSE 100 is a popular and widely followed index, it is a poor predictor of how the UK economy is doing because the majority of its constituents are multinational corporations with a global focus. Investors seeking a broader view of the UK economy may prefer the FTSE 250 or FTSE SmallCap Index.
