    • Actuaries Share Indices
      The FT-SE actuaries share index offers a benchmark to measure the performance of a portfolio or sector against the market, a particular index or another sector. The movement of each component is based on the movement of the underlying stocks on a weighted average basis. The value of each index is shown for the close of the previous day, the prior three days and a year ago, together with the days change. Other indicators are dividend yield, dividend cover, price/earnings ratio and the total return. There is also a quarterly valuation index which shows the market capitalisation for the same categories, as at the end of the quarter and the previous two quarter ends. The weighting of each index and sector is given as a percentage of the all-share index.
