The indices' regular quarterly review will be prepared by global index provider FTSE Group, using close of business figures from Tuesday 05 March. The review will then be presented for approval to the independent FTSE Committee at its meeting the following afternoon.
The indices are reviewed quarterly to ensure that they remain an accurate and up to date reflec-tion of market activity, and so act as a useful barometer for investors.
Changes announced on Wednesday 06 March will take effect when markets open on Monday 18 March.
The innovative SRI index series, FTSE4Good, will be reviewed separately at a regular meeting of the specialist FTSE4Good Advisory Committee the following week. Details of any constituent changes to this index series will be announced after 4:30pm on Monday 11 March.
