FTSE APCIMS Private Investor Index Series

FTSE have established a non-executive Index Advisory Committee of experienced UK commercial property market professionals that provides advice on the integrity of the FTSE Index. The committee is involved throughout all stages of the index construction ensuring that the rules and guidelines are adhered to.

FTSE APCIMS Private Investor Index Series

The index series represents the performance for growth-orientated, income, balanced and conservative investors and incorporates returns from FTSE indices representing UK equities, international equities, fixed income, cash and investment trusts, according to variable percentage weightings set by committee and based upon average allocations across private client investment managers. The index series has now been enhanced with the addition of hedge fund and commercial property holdings using the FTSE APCIMS Hedge (Investment Trust) Index and the FTSE UK Commercial Property Index to provide the underlying returns.

The FTSE All UK Commercial Property is the only commercial property component of the FTSE APCIMS Private Investor Index Series and is included in the following portfolios:
