Methodology

The STOXX Canada 60 Index provides a blue-chip representation of the 60 largest Canadian companies from among the 11 ICB industries in terms of free-float market cap. It is an industry-neutral index and is derived from the STOXX Canada 240 Index.


First, the largest companies belonging to each ICB industry from the STOXX Canada 240 Index are shortlisted to form an initial selection list. The 60 largest companies from the selection list are then selected to form the index.


All components are weighted according to their free-float market cap. A capping procedure is employed to ensure that the index follows a sector-neutral approach with respect to the STOXX Canada 240 Index: cap factors are assigned in order to ensure that the weight of each ICB industry within the STOXX Canada 60 Index represents the weight of the same industry within the STOXX Canada 240 Index.
