FTSE 250 Index

The index consists of 11 ICB sectors, three of which have a market cap exceeding £25 billion as at 31 March 2026. These are Financials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and together account for approximately 74% of the index's market cap. Each calendar quarter, the FTSE 250's constituents are reviewed and some companies will either exit or enter the index, resulting in irregular trading volume and price changes as market participants rebalance their portfolios. Related indices are the FTSE 100 Index (which lists the largest 100 companies), the FTSE 350 Index (which combines the FTSE 100 and 250), the FTSE SmallCap Index and the FTSE All-Share Index (an aggregation of the FTSE 100 Index, the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE SmallCap Index). ==Record values==
