FTSE 250 Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FTSE 250 Index is a capitalisation weighted index of 250 companies on the London Stock Exchange. They are selected quarterly as being the 101st to 350th largest companies with their primary listing on the exchange. Promotions to and from the index take place quarterly in March, June, September and December.

Related indices are the FTSE 100 Index (which lists the largest 100 companies), the FTSE 350 Index (which combines the FTSE 100 and 250), and the FTSE All-Share Index (which is the aggregation of the FTSE 100 Index, FTSE 250 Index and FTSE SmallCap Index).

Quite a number of companies within this index are investment trusts.
