FTSE 250

The FTSE 250 index tracks the 250 largest companies on the London Stock Exchange, ranking just below the FTSE 100. It represents mid-cap firms, which are generally more UK-focused compared to the globally oriented FTSE 100 companies. The index covers diverse sectors, including retail, construction, and industrials. It is often seen as a better indicator of the UK’s domestic economy. The FTSE 250 is reviewed quarterly to adjust for market capitalization changes, ensuring it reflects the most relevant mid-sized companies.
