FTSE’s benchmark methodology

FTSE Group (“FTSE”) is a world leader in the creation and management of indexes. FTSE calculates and manages a comprehensive range of equity, fixed income, real estate and investment strategy indexes, on both standard and custom bases. The FTSE Global Equity Index Series covers more than 17,000 securities in 49 countries and captures 99% of the world’s investable market capitalization.

FTSE uses transparent rules in determining inclusion in its indexes. Committees periodically review the indexes to ensure they remain objective and accurately reflect their target markets. Stocks are screened for liquidity and adjusted for free float so benchmarks reflect the shares available in the open market.
