The index is often seen by traders as a barometer of the success of the British economy and is the leading share index in Europe. According to the FTSE Group’s website, the FTSE 100 companies represent about 80% of the UK share market. The name of the index comes from its origins as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange (Financial Times Stock Exchange).
