  FTSE 100 Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is maintained by the FTSE Group, a now independent company which originated as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange.
Related indices are the FTSE 250 Index (which lists the next largest 250 companies), FTSE Small cap, the FTSE 350 Index (which combines the FTSE 100 and 250), and the FT All Share Index (which incorporates all listed companies).
The constituents of the index are determined quarterly; the largest companies in the FTSE 250 Index are promoted if their market capitalisation would place them in the top 90 firms of the FTSE 100 Index.

 FTSE 100 ON TRACK TO WIPE OUT PENSIONS DEFICIT BY END OF 2004
Updating analysis released in October 2003 to take into the latest investment bank estimates, Aon Consulting research suggests that the overall pensions deficit for the FTSE 100 is forecast to fall from £65 billion in December 2003 to £40 billion in 2004.
Alternative scenarios that would also see the overall pensions deficit of the FTSE 100 wiped out include a rise in the FTSE 100 to 5600, or an increase in corporate bond yields to 6.3 percent and a rise in the FTSE 100 to 5000.
Based on estimates by Morgan Stanley that the pensions deficit of FTSE 100 companies was £ 65 billion at the end of 2002, Aon Consulting used this figure and the average asset allocation to project the assets and the liabilities of the FTSE 100 companies' pension fund assets and liabilities to the end of 2004.
