  • LSE Plans to Ease Public Holding Rules for Overseas Companies in FTSE Indexes
    January 27, 2026, 9:13 AM EST. The London Stock Exchange Group (LSE) announced plans to relax rules requiring the minimum number of shares held by the public for overseas companies to join key indexes like the FTSE 100. This move aims to attract more international firms to British benchmark indexes, potentially boosting market diversity and liquidity.
