Direct Answer
The S&P/TSX 60 Equal Weight Index is a rule-based measurement of 60 large-cap Canadian equities, each holding weighted equally, maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of securities, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The S&P/TSX 60 Equal Weight Index covers 60 large-cap Canadian equities, each holding weighted equally. S&P Dow Jones Indices defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The methodology document, published by S&P Dow Jones Indices, sets the rules for inclusion and removal. Corporate actions, index reviews, and eligibility changes all move the constituent list on the timetable the provider specifies.
