What you need to know about the FTSE Fledgling Index.

You can use the index to get up-to-date share prices to make decisions on investments in fledgling stocks and funds.

There’s no liquidity requirement for fledgling stocks, which can be volatile and a riskier investment than blue-chip stocks that have been traded on the market for years or even decades.
