Peter de Graaf, Managing Director, FTSE Europe, Middle East and Africa said, “The FTSE 350 Supersector Indices give investors a new way of looking at the UK market. Consisting of large and mid cap UK stocks they offer investors good representation of UK sectors through highly liquid, fully tradable indices which are suitable for a range of OTC investment products, including exchange traded funds (ETF) and derivative products.”
