About UK 100
The UK 100 (UK100), also known as the FTSE 100, tracks the 100 largest companies by market capitalisation listed on the London Stock Exchange and is the principal benchmark for the UK equity market.
Its constituents are heavily weighted towards global sectors such as energy, mining, financials, consumer staples, and pharmaceuticals, with major names including Shell, AstraZeneca, HSBC, Unilever, and BP reflecting the index's distinctly international revenue base.
Because the majority of FTSE 100 earnings are generated outside the United Kingdom, the index is sensitive to global commodity prices, sterling movements, Bank of England policy, and worldwide economic conditions.
