	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.

	FTSE 100 Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FTSE 100 Index (pronounced footsie) is a share index of the 100 largest companies listed on 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 Index Index Option
		FTSE 100 Index Options give you the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the value of the FTSE 100 Index on or before a specific date.
		FTSE 100 Index Options can be used to participate in an upwards or downwards move in the FTSE 100 Index.
		FTSE 100 Index Options operate in much the same way as equity options, the main difference being that when exercised, the cash value is calculated and not the physical delivery of the underlying shares.

	Media Centre - Shell ranked third in ‘Female FTSE 100 Index’
		Shell women are leading moves to smash the glass ceiling according to new research that ranks Shell third among FTSE 100 companies in appointing female directors.
		The research, by the Cranfield School of Management, also showed that the number of female directorships in FTSE 100 companies has reached 101, an increase of 20 percent from 84 in 2002.
		Sir Philip said: “Shell’s third-place in the Female FTSE 100 Index shows the progress we have made in a challenging industry. Diversity is part of running a good business.

	www.mineweb.net \| columns \| london beat Antofagasta billed for FTSE 100 inclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Antofagasta moves into the FTSE 100 because a UK supermarket group, Safeway, is leaving abruptly as it has been taken over by a rival, William Morrison.
		The FTSE 100 committee holds its quarterly meeting on Monday, March 9 and Antofagasta would have been nominated to move into the index on March 22.
		There was quite a scramble in London for the shares when Antofagasta went into the FTSE 250 index but many London fund managers who have to track the FTSE indices reckon that, while membership of the FTSE 100 might bring a certain cache to a company, it is not a material issue for them.

		Excluding stocks that joined the FTSE as a result of corporate restructuring, mergers and rebranding, there were 29 new entrants to the index in the course of last year.
		In mid-September, the FTSE 100 index comes up for its next quarterly shake-up, and declining market values mean that another host of TMT stocks could face demotion from the blue-chip index.

	Four UK tech stocks exit FTSE 100 - Information World Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In March, the time of the four technology companies' promotion, rules were changed so that companies with less than a quarter of their stock available to the public qualified to be listed as FTSE 100 firms.
		At the time, analysts warned that the companies' stay in the stock exchange's biggest 100 firms could be shortlived, and now the firm's share prices may suffer as a result of dropping out.
		This is because they will also drop out of the portfolios of investment funds that automatically track the FTSE 100, creating an artificially high number of sellers on the market.

		The profits of FTSE 100 companies could drop by £3.8 billion if pension funds pursue the switch from equities to bonds, according to estimations by the Pension Adviser Review (PAR).
		Pension schemes are drawn to LDI designs in order to avoid the deepening of their pension deficits, currently estimated by PAR at about £46 billion for the FTSE 100 companies.
		According to PAR's calculations, a reduction of 7.5% in liabilities of FTSE 100 companies would lead to a fall in the global pension deficit of over 40% to £26bn.
