The answer is- you can't!
The FTSE is a company which provides stock market indicies. FTSE itself is not publicly listed.
If you want exposure to one of the FTSE indicies (such as the FTSE 100, FTSE 250, FTSE Small Cap, FTSE All Share, etc...) then I suggest you speak to an Independent Financial Adviser who will be able to arrange for you to buy an index linked fund which will give you exposure to that particular index. This is a much safer option than buying individual shares which you should only buy if you can afford to completely loose all of your investment (look at Northern Rock- even shares listed on the FTSE 100 are not immune).
The FTSE 100 is the index of the top 100 companies by market capitalisation. Its shares tend to be least volitile. There is less risk involved and so the return you can expect is likely to be less than say the FTSE Small Cap where shares may very very volitile.
Most OEIC/Unit Trust managers will allow you to make small regular contributions (usually as little as £50 per month). Most offer ISA wrappers for tax efficiency. |

google " ftse tracker "
and read the dozens of sites which specialise in tracking the entire index, thus spreading the risks.....read the small print thoroughly.
the way the market is right now, it would seem to be a good move....
the market in 7 years or so must be way above the present value
dont risk more than you can afford, but most of these trackers guarantee 100% of your money back after the fixed term......if the market turns even worse, you only lose the interest you could have
gained had you invested in fixed rate bonds.
i have had my fingers burned with a tracker after the present problems....in future its fixed rate bonds for me
good luck

I also bought shares for the 1st time this fortnight. I just went into the bank with the name of the company I wanted to invest in and they can help from there. Its normally around £20-40 fee but they can sort the rest for you. |

The Share Centre has a good site and is free to register and open a practice account with £15,000 virtual money. The practice account works in almost exactly the same way as their share account so you can learn beforehand.
Best of luck!

Do not do this through a bank or broker or any other middle man, they will charge you a nice commission either directly up front, or through some other hidden way.
Call Vanguard directly & you can invest directly in the FTSE index
Vanguard's cost will be 0.40% of your earnings
Minimum investment to get started is $3,000

Investing in this one Mutual fund is rather risky, it should only be a portion of your investments. To achieve this, you could buy a fund of funds that would include mutual funds similar to the one you want to buy.
For example, you could buy Vanguards LifeStrategy Growth Fund for $3,000 which contains the Total International Stock Index as well as the US Total Stock Market Index Fund & US Total Bond Market Index Fund.
This fund will give you what you need - automatic diversification.

Don't worry about buying US stocks, Warren Buffet says its a very good time to buy them now at such cheap prices.

its called the FTSE financial times stock exchange, and in order to invest you need to be 18 and financially able to buy the very expensive shares, you do this by going to a stock exchange. And btw FTSE is a group of 100 companies including BT heres some info |

Without knowing you present financial situation I would recommend you speak to an independant financial adviser.
They will assess your requirements and recommend a solution. Think of it like being fitted for a new suit you want it to fit perfectly.
they will give consideration to ;
F recommendation of a product that will allow frequency of deposits.
A a product which allows for any access to the funds you require
C charges for the product purchase
T term over which you wish to invest eg regular sums or lump sums
O the objective or reason why you are investing eg for future event.
R your attitude to risk. What level of volatility are you willing to accept
If you are a UK resident my guess is a Stocks and Shares Individual Savings Account would be the recommendation purely for tax efficiency. Im sure many large insuruance companies such as Standard Life and Norwich Union offer some form of FTSE tracker fund. You can save monthly into these products from as little as £50 per month with the ability to stop and start or increase the payments. Also to pay in larger lump sums up to certain limits and withdraw if need be. Insurance companies have experienced fund managers who research the companies before investing so you are paying for a professional to manage you investment and make investment decisions on your behalf. Annual charges on these funds can be as little as 0.5% per annum of the fund value.
This is a great time to invest in shares in my opinion given recent losses in share prices. However any investment in shares should be allowed 5-10 yrs to see real growth. You should have funds other than this already for emergencies so that you wouldnt have to withdraw your investment before then.
FTSE bonds as described as above are unsuitable for regular savers and usually require a one off investment of at least £5K |

But if you’re asking if you should put money in a FTSE 100 tracker right now, we’d advise against it - it’ll probably be lower at some point this year. |
