Direct Answer
The S&P/TSX 60 is a rule-based measurement of large-cap canadian benchmark, maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices/TMX. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of companies, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The S&P/TSX 60 covers large-cap canadian benchmark, within the Canada market. S&P Dow Jones Indices/TMX defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The name states a target of 60 companies. A target is not a guarantee of the exact count on any given day: corporate actions, dual share classes and pending additions all move the real number around it.
How constituents are weighted
Swoopr has not verified the weighting method for this index against S&P Dow Jones Indices/TMX's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
