UK Quarterly Review
The constituents of the FTSE UK index series, incorporating the FTSE 100, FTSE 250, and FTSE SmallCap are reviewed quarterly, by FTSE’s Europe, Middle East and Africa committee. The reviews are conducted to ensure that each index remains an accurate and up to date reflection of the market it measures.
The reviews take place on the Wednesday after the first Friday of the month in March, June, September and December, and the values used to make the changes to the indexes are taken at the close of business the night before the review (Tuesday).
The review dates for 2009 are Wednesday March 11th, Wednesday June 10th, Wednesday September 9th and Wednesday December 9th.
Any changes that will be made to the UK indices can only be confirmed by the FTSE press office after the committee has met, this is to say sometime after the market close on the day of the review, and not before. If you are a member of the press and would like to be added to the distribution list for the press release please email media@ftse.com.
The FTSE press office can help journalists by giving them the positions of companies at the close of business just before the review. We can also tell you if a newly listed company is large enough to be incorporated in an index. However, we cannot speculate or predict any changes to the indices before the committee has met, and we cannot confirm if a newly listed company will be eligible to join an index before the committee has met, as this depends on many other factors other than size.
Changes from the review are implemented at close on the third Friday of the month of the review.
