The ''Financial Times'' collates and publishes a number of [[Stock market index|financial market indices]], which reflect the changing value of their constituent parts. The longest-running of these was the former ''Financial News Index'', started on 1 July 1935 by the ''Financial News''. The ''FT'' published a similar index; this was replaced by the ''Financial News Index'' — which was then renamed the ''Financial Times (FT) Index'' — on 1 January 1947. The index started as an index of industrial shares, and companies with dominant overseas interests were excluded, such as the [[Anglo-Iranian Oil Company]] (later [[BP]]), [[British-American Tobacco]], [[Lever Brothers]] (later [[Unilever]]) and [[Royal Dutch Shell|Shell]]. The oil and financial sectors were included decades later.<ref name="Littlewood">''The Stock Market'', John Littlewood.</ref>

The [[FTSE All-Share Index]], the first of the FTSE series of indices, was created in 1962, comprising the largest 594 UK companies by market capitalisation.<ref name=Littlewood/> The letters ''F-T-S-E'' represented that FTSE was a joint venture between the ''Financial Times'' ('''F-T''') and the [[London Stock Exchange]] ('''S-E'''). On 13 February 1984 the [[FTSE 100]] was introduced, representing about eighty per cent of the London Stock Exchange's value.<ref name=Littlewood/> [[FTSE Group]] was made an independent company in 1995. The first of several overseas offices was opened in New York City in 1999; Paris followed in early 2000, Hong Kong, [[Frankfurt]] and San Francisco in 2001, [[Madrid]] in 2002 and Tokyo in 2003.

Other well-known FTSE indices include the [[FTSE 350 Index]], the [[FTSE SmallCap Index]], the [[FTSE AIM UK 50 Index]] and [[FTSE AIM 100 Index]] as well as the [[FTSE AIM All-Share Index]] for stocks, and the FTSE UK Gilt Indices for government bonds.

In 2021, the ''Financial Times'' started publishing three multi-asset indexes with [[Wilshire Associates]] covering combinations of the top five cryptocurrencies.<ref name="Granger"/>
