Work for FTSE International Limited

FTSE is one of the world’s leading experts in the creation and management of equity indices and is jointly owned by the London Stock Exchange and the Financial Times. With offices in London, New York, Paris, Frankfurt and Hong Kong, FTSE services clients in 77 countries worldwide. It manages and develops globally recognised indexes ranging from the FTSE All-World Index to the real time FTSE Eurotop series and the FTSE 100. The company has collaborative arrangements with the London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Norex, Cyprus, Euronext, Athens, Luxembourg and Madrid stock exchanges, as well as with Nikkei of Japan (Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc).

FTSE indices are used extensively by investors world-wide for investment analysis, performance measurement, asset allocation and for creating a wide range of index tracking funds. Committees of senior fund managers, derivatives experts, actuaries and experienced practitioners independently review all changes to the indexes ensuring that they are accurate, timely and without bias.

As well as creating and calculating our own indices we also develop indices for third parties. These range from customised benchmark indices for institutions to new stock market indices. Examples of this co-operation include the FTSE/ASE 20 and Global-Pro a unique index customisation service developed with ING Barings.

FTSE is a major contributor to all aspects of index affairs with a commitment to consultation with the financial services industry. In this respect FTSE executives serve on many institutional committees and have a busy conference schedule to ensure that the views of the market are both understood and represented at every level.

FTSE has a strong commitment to the continuous development of its staff and provides a range of effective training and development opportunities enabling employees to understand and meet the requirements of their job and the industry in which they work, as well as prepare for and optimise their potential for the future.

In recognition of this commitment FTSE is accredited with the Investors in People (IIP) award which is a national standard of good practice for improving an organisation's performance through its people. FTSE embodies the IIP commitment to developing staff, and provides a planned approach to development in order to meet the business objectives.
