Description
FTSE: the Inside Story is a behind-the-scenes account of the creation and evolution of the FTSE 100, one of the world's most trusted and famous brands. The story begins with the launch of FTSE International in the mid-1980s, and chronicles the company's rise to become a global leader in financial information and data.
From the earliest days of the company, FTSE International has been at the forefront of dealmaking and diplomacy, with behind-the-scenes rows with chief executives and politicians, as well as controversy over pioneering pushes into responsible investing. The company's success has been built on a data revolution that transformed the investment industry, and its impact can be seen in the fortunes of funds worth over $16 trillion.
Written by Mark Makepeace, the founding Chief Executive of FTSE International, this book provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the company and the world of global finance. With its fascinating story of innovation and perseverance, FTSE: the Inside Story is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in business, finance, and the inner workings of global institutions.
