FTSE and Euronext today introduce FTSEurofirst, a new tradable suite of pan-European indices. FTSEurofirst is the result of a co-operation between FTSE and Euronext and combines high liquidity with better market coverage, representation, and index tracking, to offer a superior index solution for trading European equities.
The FTSEurofirst Index Series comprises two new indices:
- FTSEurofirst 80 which covers the current Eurozone and provides a basket of 80 stocks
- FTSEurofirst 100 which provides a pan-European selection of 100 stocks
Using only two currencies the indices offer a much easier way to trade across borders in Europe. Futures and options on the new indices will be listed on Euronext.liffe in the next few months.
The FTSEurofirst series begins calculation today. For more information including index constituents, live data and back history data please visit www.ftseurofirst.com
