Description

The fund primarily invests in large-cap Canadian equities. The selection process begins with companies deemed to be Canada-based and trading on Canadian or US exchanges that meet size and liquidity requirements. The Index is designed to comprise those companies with market capitalizations generally larger than that of the 86th largest Canadian company. Securities are also grouped according to various characteristics (e.g. size, relative price, profitability, and momentum). Weighting is keyed to its available market-cap modified by a multiplier based on the characteristics of each company represented by the security.
