But it\u2019s actually an index. Think of an index as a hypothetical portfolio, designed to monitor the performance of the assets it contains (in this case, stocks in large UK companies). As such, you can\u2019t actually invest directly in the FTSE 100.<\/p><p>However, you can gain exposure to FTSE 100 companies by either buying shares in each individual company or by investing in a fund \u2013 such as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">exchange traded fund<\/a> (ETF) \u2013 that tracks the performance of the stocks in the FTSE 100.<\/p><h3 id=\"learn\">How to invest in the FTSE 100<\/h3><ol><li><strong>Open a share dealing platform.<\/strong> Whether you want to invest directly in FTSE 100 stocks or invest in a FTSE 100 ETF, you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/open-a-share-trading-account\">open an account with a trading platform<\/a> or brokerage.<\/li><li><strong>Fund your account.<\/strong> You need to put money in your account to buy shares or invest in a fund, either by bank transfer or using a debit card.<\/li><li><strong>Choose your investments.<\/strong> Either select an investment fund or, if you want to buy stocks, do some research into the companies you\u2019re considering.

should you invest in the FTSE 100?<\/div>\n                                <div class=\"eeQuote__quote\">\n                    <p>\"Investing in the FTSE 100 tends to be regarded as a relatively safe and low-risk bet \u2013 insofar as investing is ever \u201csafe and low-risk\u201d. No investment is risk-free.<\/p><p>Because it\u2019s made up of the UK\u2019s biggest companies, the FTSE 100 tends to include businesses that have been around a while. Companies that have a track record of solid performance. This might mean they\u2019re not the most exciting (or potentially most rewarding) companies to invest in, but the chances of them crashing are also lower than average. All of this makes the FTSE 100 a decent bet if you want to manage your risk levels. Plus, if you opt to buy shares, many FTSE 100 stocks pay dividends.<\/p><p>As we always bang on about, though, it\u2019s essential to have a diverse investment portfolio. So, while a FTSE 100 tracker fund will likely feature in many investors\u2019 portfolios, there\u2019s no need to put all your eggs in one basket. There\u2019s nothing stopping you from investing in the FTSE 100, while also bolstering your portfolio with an even lower-risk investment (such as bonds) and a selection of higher-risk, higher-reward assets.\"<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"eeQuote__authorInfo\">\n                                            <div

directly.<\/strong> You can buy individual stocks from the FTSE 100 index using a brokerage or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/how-to-invest-in-the-ftse-100#compare\">share trading platform<\/a>. You could buy one share of each company to create your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/stock-portfolio\">portfolio<\/a> of FTSE 100 stocks, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/how-to-buy-shares\">buy shares in selected companies<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Invest in a FTSE 100 index fund or ETF.<\/strong> If you want exposure to all the companies in the FTSE 100 without having to buy individual shares (and avoiding trading fees), you could instead invest in a FTSE 100 fund or ETF. These track the performance of the stocks in the FTSE 100.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"importantText importantText__callout\">\n  <p>The FTSE 100 is made up of some really exciting companies, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/fashion-stocks\/buy-burberry-shares\">Burberry<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/food-drink-stocks\/buy-coca-cola-shares\">Coca-Cola<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/tech-stocks\/buy-ocado-shares\">Ocado<\/a>. Because of its appeal, there are lots of funds and ETFs that track the index.<\/p><p>Investors can also choose to invest in all the individual stocks themselves, but this would take a lot of time, especially as the index changes regularly. You would need to keep tabs on which stocks have moved out of the index, which have moved in, and whether any weightings need to be changed. An index fund would be a great deal easier and could save you money on commission too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"compare\">Compare FTSE 100 trading platforms<\/h3><div class=\"fin-text-grey text-x-small

This option means you won\u2019t own shares directly, but your returns will still reflect the performance of FTSE 100 companies. You can also buy shares in each individual company, but this will be much more laborious and time-consuming than investing in a fund and may incur high share-trading fees.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000001\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000001\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Who owns the FTSE 100?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000001\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">The FTSE is owned by the London Stock Exchange Group.

The S&amp;P 500 includes more companies, so is statistically more diverse. However, this means it also includes a number of higher-risk stocks than the FTSE 100. The good news is that you don\u2019t have to choose one or the other to invest in.
