FT 30

The FT 30 ("FT Ordinary Index" or "FTOI" - Never "FTSE 30") is a now rarely used index that was conceived in 1935 and is similar to the "DJIA". It has since been superseded by the FTSE 100, introduced in 1984.

The companies listed in the index are made up of those in the Industrial and Commercial sectors and exclude financial sector (banks, insurance, etc.) and government stocks.
