It is administered by the Canadian Standard & Poor’s Committee and, along with the S & P / TSX 60, is the most important stock index in Toronto.

The S & P / TSX Composite Index is a price index in which the 220 largest stock corporations on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) are listed (as of December 31, 2008). The market value of the companies in the index is 95 percent of the Canadian stock market.
