FTSE Eurotrack 200 Index

The FTSE Eurotrack 200 Index is a composite. It contains both:

  • The shares of 100 companies from Continental Europe, selected from among those quoted on the SEAQ International system operated by the London Stock Exchange . The selection accurately reflects the performance of the broad European market.
  • The constituents of the FT-SE 100 index of leading UK companies.

The index is a market capitalisation-weighted index. However, stocks from each country reflect that country's proportionate share of total European stock market capitalisation. So, in other words, the weighting of the 100 shares from the UK are adjusted so as not to take up an inappropriate proportion of the index.

Like the FTSE, the FTSE Eurotrack 200 is calculated every minute using real-time prices provided by the quote-driven Seaq International system.

The FTSE Eurotrack 200 is published by the London Stock Exchange , in association with the Financial Times and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

The FTSE Eurotrack 200 has a brother, the FTSE Eurotrack 100, which has the same constituents but excludes U.K. shares.
