FTSEurofirst 300 Index Joins FTSEurofirst Index Series

Date 29/09/2004

The FTSEurofirst 300 Index will be launched today as part of the FTSEurofirst Index Series, co-owned by FTSE Group and Euronext.

Formerly calculated under the FTSE European Index series as FTSE Eurotop 300, the FTSEurofirst 300 is the definitive measure of blue chip companies in Europe and comprises the 300 most highly capitalized, pan-European large cap stocks.

The index is the latest addition to the fast growing pan-European FTSEurofirst Index Series, and has a number of sub-indices derived from it, including two sets of newly launched Supersector indices.
