The FTSE All‑World GDP Adjusted Index is designed to reflect the performance of the large‑ and mid‑capitalisation securities contained within the FTSE All‑World Index, while adjusting country weights so that each country’s representation is proportionate to its share of global GDP. Country allocations are based on GDP at current prices, sourced from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
By aligning weights to economic output rather than equity market size, the index provides an alternative global equity benchmark in which countries are represented according to the relative scale of their economies, offering an economically grounded perspective on global equity exposure.
