The FTSE All-World Index is a market capitalisation-weighted index that tracks the performance of large and mid-cap stocks from the FTSE Global Equity Index Series. It includes companies from both developed and emerging markets, making it a key benchmark for global investors. The index helps fund managers, institutional investors, and analysts assess market performance and allocate capital efficiently. As of 31 January, 245 Indian companies are part of the index.

India has gained prominence in global indices as its economy expands and market capitalisation grows. As more Indian companies get included, foreign institutional investment tends to increase, boosting liquidity and participation in the Indian stock market. The country’s increasing weight in international benchmarks has attracted foreign institutional investors, leading to higher liquidity and broader participation in Indian equities.

According to IIFL Capital (Alt Desk) projections, 360 ONE WAM, Blue Star, and Fortis Healthcare could see estimated inflows of $49 million, $54 million, and $65 million, respectively. These inflows represent significant multiples of their average daily volume.
