The FTSE Private Investor Index Series is a multi-asset index series providing market participants in the UK with a set of asset allocation benchmarks covering equities, fixed income, cash, property and other investments. The indices are calculated by blending underlying component indices representing the performance of various asset classes, with the asset allocation weights derived from asset allocation levels of eligible funds reported in the Morningstar Fund Database.
Initially launched in 1997, this wholly owned FTSE index series has established a 20-year track record. The index series continues to evolve:
