The S&P/TSX Composite Index has provided investors with a premier
indicator of market activity
for Canadian equity markets since its launch in 1977. With
approximately 95% coverage of the Canadian equities market, it is the
primary gauge for Canadian-based, Toronto Stock Exchange listed

benchmark and an investable index. The index is designed to
offer the representation of a broad benchmark index while
maintaining the liquidity characteristics of narrower
indices. This unique combination makes the S&P/TSX Composite
Index ideal for portfolio management and index replication.
