Book excerpt: Description A RINGSIDE SEAT ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST DEALS AND BIGGEST PERSONALITIES IN BUSINESS AND GLOBAL POLITICS. FTSE is an account of how a small start-up created by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange launched in the mid 1980s to provide financial information, became a world leader and one of the UK's most trusted and famous brands. It chronicles how the FTSE 100 was born and details the ferocious dealmaking that followed over 35 years of market boom and bust. It provides a ringside seat on some of the biggest deals and biggest personalities in business and global politics. There have been behind-the-scenes rows with chief executives of some of the world's largest companies, political in-fighting, diplomatic incidents, and even controversy over a pioneering push into responsible investing that began life as a conversation with James Bond actor Roger Moore. FTSE is a modern British brand recognised the world over, like the Royal Family, the BBC or Sir Richard Branson's Virgin empire. They are just four letters on an electronic ticker tape, but FTSE has become a byword for money, power, influence and - crucially after numerous financial crises - trust. How this organisation, FTSE International, brought order to the financial system over several decades is a story of how capitalism globalised and a data revolution transformed the investment industry. It is a story of how a team of British innovators seized an opportunity to build a business that today leads its field and guides the fortunes of an astonishing $16 trillion of funds. It is a story that Mark Makepeace, as the founding Chief Executive of FTSE International, knows better than anybody.

Download or read book Comovement and Changes to the Ftse 100 Index written by Periklis Kougoulis and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We employ the Barberis, Shleifer and Wurgler (2004) methodology to investigate the impact of changes to the FTSE 100 index on return comovement over the 1992-2002 period. For FTSE stock inclusions the average increase in the beta coefficient is 0.38 in univariate regressions for weekly returns and 0.60 in bivariate regressions that control for the return on non-FTSE stocks. Stocks deleted from the index display the opposite pattern post exit. The results are robust to a number of factors including size, industry and non-trading effects. They are difficult to explain within a classical framework but complement those found for the US and Japan in supporting behavioral finance views of comovement.

Download or read book Trillions written by Robin Wigglesworth and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Financial Times's global finance correspondent, the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street's scorn to launch the index fund revolution, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees that would have otherwise lined fat cats' pockets. Fifty years ago, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry's backwaters, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world's finest investors couldn't beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including economist wunderkind Gene Fama, humiliated industry executive Jack Bogle, bull-headed and computer-obsessive John McQuown, and avuncular former WWII submariner Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the US, and is today a force reshaping markets, finance and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. Yet even some fans of index funds and ETFs are growing perturbed that their swelling heft is destabilizing markets, wrecking the investment industry and leading to an unwelcome concentration of power in fewer and fewer hands. In Trillions, Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth unveils the vivid secret history of an invention Wall Street wishes was never created, bringing to life the characters behind its birth, growth, and evolution into a world-conquering phenomenon. This engrossing narrative is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand modern finance—and one of the most pressing financial uncertainties of our time.

Download or read book The Bid Ask Spread of the Ftse 100 Futures Contract written by Thomas Henker and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half point quotes and consequently half-point spreads are virtually non-existent in FTSE-100 futures trading. This is surprising since in 1994 Christie and Schultz published a series of papers documenting tacit collusion among NASDAQ market makers. Subsequent to the publication of their article the peculiarity ceased to exist for NASDAQ stocks but apparently not in other asset markets. The FTSE-100 futures contract is traded on the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) throughout the day in open outcry pit trading and in after hours trading through an electronic market clearing system called Automated Pit Trading (APT). Pit trading is the prototype of a competitive market that is designed to ensure minimal bid-ask spreads.In a second part this paper estimates the total economic costs associated with the operation of the FTSE-100 futures trading pit. These costs arise from the existence of the bid-ask spread and are borne by all market participants who have a real demand for the futures contract and initiate trades. The spread costs are in addition to common transaction costs and fees paid directly to brokers and traders. The spreads in APT trading are found to be on average 50% higher than during pit trading, which may help explain the APT low trading volume relative to the volume transacted during pit trading. A spread decomposition shows that 80 percent of the spread can be attributed to time invariant spread components while only the remaining 20% are transient components related to price risk over the expected holding period of the scalper.

Download or read book The London Stock Exchange written by Ranald Michie and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-04-26 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, the London Stock Exchange will be 200 years old, though its origins go back a century before that. This book traces the history of the London Stock Exchange from its beginnings around 1700 to the present day, chronicling the challenges and opportunities it has faced, avoided, or exploited over the years. Throughout, the history seeks to blend an understanding of the London Stock Exchange as an institution with that of the securities market of which it was - and is - such an important component. One cannot be examined satisfactorily without the other. Without a knowledge of both, for example, the causes of the 'Big Bang' of 1986 would forever remain a mystery. However, the history of the London Stock Exchange is not just worthy of study for what it reveals about the interaction between institution and market. Such was the importance of the London Stock Exchange that its rise to world dominance before 1914, its decline thereafter, and its renaissance from the mid-1980s, explain a great deal about Britain's own economic performance and the working of the international economy. For the first time a British economic institution of foremost importance is studied throughout its entire history, with regard to the roles played and the constraints under which it operated, and the results evaluated against the background of world economic progress.
