	Observer \| For a bumper year - bet on the big boys
		While the index of our biggest companies is up by about 15 per cent since the start of April, the FTSE 250 index of medium-sized companies has jumped by 45 per cent, and the small company index is up more than 50 per cent.
		Their rally has left them looking quite expensive compared with the larger index - the historic price-earnings ratio of the FTSE 100 index, for example, is 17.5 times while the 250's is 20.3, and the yield on the FTSE 100 index is also more generous at 3.3 per cent compared with 2.7 per cent.
		He does not expect the FTSE 250 or the small cap to fall - the prospect of economic recovery should be enough to keep it going - but it will lag behind.

		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.
		Possibly the biggest advantage for Antofagasta from being in the FTSE 100 is that its international profile will be raised as more analysts will feel obliged to cover the group.

		In the UK the major benchmarks for company size are the components of the FTSE Indexes (footsie).
		Thus if the share price of a FTSE 100 company falls dramatically such that its market capitalisation is now well below the largest company in the FTSE 250 Index, then it will be demoted from the FTSE 100 to be replaced by the larger company in the FTSE 250 as it is promoted.
		As the bigger institutions themselves discover the growing new star and begin to buy into its good prospects it can be anticipated that this will lead to a rise in the share price through the increase in demand for the shares.
