| 单词 | Financial Times Share Indexes |
| 释义 | Financial Times Share Indexes A number of share indexes published by the Financial Times as a barometer of share prices on the London Stock Exchange. The Financial Times Actuaries Share Indexes are calculated by the Institute of Actuaries and the Faculty of Actuaries as weighted arithmetic averages for 54 sectors of the market (capital goods, consumer goods, etc.) and divided into various industries. They are widely used by investors and portfolio managers. The widest measure of the market comes from the FTA All-Share Index of some 800 shares and fixed-interest stocks (increased from 657 in October 1992), which includes a selection from the financial sector. Calculated after the end of daily business, it covers 98% of the market and 90% of turnover by value. The FTA World Share Index was introduced in 1987 and is based on 2400 share prices from 24 countries. The Financial Times Industrial Ordinary Share Index (or FT-30) represents the movements of shares in 30 leading industrial and commercial shares, chosen to be representative of British industry rather than of the Stock Exchange as a whole; it therefore excludes banks, insurance companies, and government stocks. The index is an unweighted geometric average, calculated hourly during the day and closing at 4.30 pm. The index started from a base of 100 in 1935 and for many years was the main day-to-day market barometer. It continues to be published but it has been superseded as the main index by the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 Share Index (FT-SE 100 or FOOTSIE), a weighted arithmetic index representing the price of 100 securities with a base of 1000 on 3 January 1984. This index is calculated minute-by-minute and its constituents, whose membership is by market capitalization, above £1 billion, are reviewed quarterly. The index was created to help to support a UK equity-market base for a futures contract. In 1992 the index series was extended to create two further real-time indexes, the FT-SE Mid 250, comprising companies capitalized between £150 million and £1 billion, and the FT-SE Actuaries 350, both based on 31 December 1985. These indexes are further broken down into Industry Baskets, comprising all the shares of the industrial sectors, to provide an instant view of industry performance across the market, and corresponding roughly to sectors defined by markets in New York and Tokyo. A FT-SE Small Cap Index covers 500-600 companies capitalized between £20 million and £150 million, calculated at the end of the day's business, both including and excluding investment trusts. The Financial Times Government Securities Index measures the movements of Government stocks (gilts). The newest indexes measure the performance of securities throughout the European market. The Financial Times-Stock Exchange Eurotrack 100 Index (FT-SE Eurotrack 100) is a weighted average of 100 stocks in Europe, which started on 29 October 1990, with a base of 1000 at the close of business on 26 October 1990. Quoted in euros, the index combines prices from SEAQ and SEAQ International with up-to-date currency exchange rates. On 25 February 1991 the Financial Times-Stock Exchange Eurotrack 200 Index was first quoted, with the same base as the Eurotrack 100 to combine the constituents of the FT-SE 100 and the Eurotrack 100. New global sector indexes were introduced in 2001, including the Euro-Top Index of the 100 largest European companies. There is also a Euro-Top 300 Index. |
