FTSE UK Index Series: Reserve List Ground Rule Clarification

19 June 2014


At the June 2014 meeting the FTSE Governance Board approved the following rule clarification to the FTSE UK Index Series, where the previous rule was silent on the use of the reserve list for a company that is already due to be replaced as part of the index review.

Please note the following change to the ground rules with immediate effect.

Old Rule

7.3.12 Where a company is deleted after the FTSE Europe, Middle East & Africa Regional Advisory Committee has met and approved periodic changes to the index but before the periodic changes have been implemented, the highest ranking company from the new Reserve List (see Rule 7.6), excluding current index constituents, will replace the deleted company.


New Rule

7.3.12 Where a company is deleted after the periodic review changes have been announced but before they have been implemented, the highest ranking company from the new Reserve List (see Rule 7.6), excluding current index constituents, will replace the deleted company.

Where a company being deleted is already due to be replaced in the FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 as part of the periodic review, it should be replaced by the largest company previously announced for addition to the index in the review.


An updated version of the FTSE UK Index Series Ground Rules is now available on the FTSE website.
