UK tech indices performed extremely well during the first half of 2019 but suffered a big correction during the third quarter. Fortunately, this turned out to be a temporary set-back with growth returning during the final quarter.
The FTSE SCS index, a proxy for UK listed software and IT services (SITS) companies, gained 35% during the first half of the year but lost 17% during the third quarter, regaining some of the lost ground in Q4 with a 14% gain to finish the year up a very healthy 27%.
Other tech sectors also posted strong gains with the Techmark 100 index up 36% yoy and the FTSE Hardware sector gained 74% to lift the wider FTSE Technology sector by almost 30%.
The value of quoted UK SITS companies jumped to £55.6bn in 2019 (2018: £33.5bn) after the London Stock Exchange redefined some of the industry classifications used to segment listed companies.
