Exchange-traded fundsEdit

There are currently no ETFs that match the S&P/TSX Composite Index; however, the iShares S&P/TSX Completion Index Fund (TSXXMD) combined with the iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund (TSXXIU) can give equivalent exposure. The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index Fund (TSXXIC) and BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index Fund (TSXZCN) match the diversity of the index but the relative weighting of each constituent is capped at 10%.

BlackRock also provides several iShares-brand ETFs which provide exposure to segments of the index; these include:

  • S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index Fund (TSXXEG)
  • S&P/TSX Capped Financial Services Index Fund (TSXXFN)
  • S&P/TSX Capped Technology Index Fund (TSXXIT)
  • S&P/TSX Capped Basic Materials Index Fund (TSXXMA)
  • S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index Fund (TSXXRE)
