UK 100

The UK 100 index

The UK 100 is a tradeable market from Capital.com, enabling you to take a position on the price of the 100 most capitalised UK companies. 

Our UK 100 platform represents a UK stock market index which tracks the performance of the top 100 blue-chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. It uses a market capitalisation weighting system, meaning its most capitalised constituent companies appear higher in the index and have more of an influence over the overall index price. However, liquidity, free float and eligibility criteria are some other factors that can determine the order of companies within the list. 

As a closely-followed index, the UK 100 is often seen as a proxy for UK stock market health and the domestic economy. 

Some of the largest companies included in the UK 100 index at the time of writing are Royal Dutch Shell (RDSB), BP (BP), HSBC  (HSBA) and Unilever (ULVR). Such companies are mainstays at the top of the index, although lesser-capitalised companies are more likely to change position in the index, or even drop out to be replaced by new stocks that have become sufficiently capitalised to join.
