Time series of FTSE composition

[briSk]

Does anyone know if there is a time series of the FTSE (100?) composition in the public domain / send me in Excel from some whizzbang system you have access to..?!

Be lucky, even Bloomberg don't provide the current weightings. You have to pay extra for that.

I can PM the current to the OP, but not sure where to look for historic.

I wouldn't either. It's a bit of a minefield but I'd call FTSE S&P and see if they know of a vending source for the data.

You'd want snap shots post every re-shuffle wouldn't you?

You are, of course, quite right. I was thinking about those on Deutsche Boerse.

Apologies!

Weird. I don't have any paid access to UK or FTSE data, yet when I type in MEMB I get the current weightings. There's an option to download the historic index member changes, but it's a pretty un-user-friendly list of the changes in # shares in the index. Which is rather useless without the prices and free float weightings.
