With FTSE's streaming service, continuous changes to the underlying stock prices are automatically captured in the real-time index value. The service provides iPhone users with direct insight into real-time market activity, wherever they may be.

By accessing FTSE's streaming real-time service via the FTSE APP, users are able to track over 50 individual country indices and keep abreast of market conditions as they change. Now, users can make faster and better informed investment decisions using a broad range of FTSE indices, including the FTSE 100, FTSE MIB, FTSE All-World (covering 95% of the world's investable universe) and FTSE China 25 indices. The FTSE APP can provide global, regional, country or capitalisation specific views.

The application is pre-loaded with two years of historical data, allowing users to see market trends and performance. With index data now available on-the-go, iPhone users can stay on top of market activity from any location.
