The S&P/CDNX Composite Index (JX)

The S&P/CDNX Composite Index, Canada's benchmark index for the public venture capital marketplace, is managed by Standard and Poor's, a leading global provider of financial information and investment analysis. It is a market capitalization-based index meant to provide an indication of performance for companies listed on the CDNX.

The index does not have a fixed number of companies, and is revised quarterly based on the Criteria for Inclusion and Maintenance Policies accessible through the links below. The revision process involves removing companies that comprise less than 0.05% of the weight of the index, and adding companies whose weight, when included, will comprise greater than 0.05% of the index. New candidates will only be added at the quarter-end as per the quarterly revision procedures.

CDNX-listed companies are eligible for inclusion in the S&P/CDNX Composite Index if they are incorporated under Canadian federal, provincial, or territorial jurisdictions, and represent a relative weight of at least 0.05% of the total index market capitalization. Stocks eligible for inclusion must generally be listed on the CDNX for at least 12 full calendar months as of the effective date of the quarterly revision.

You will notice that the value of the new S&P/CDNX Composite Index is lower than the closing value of the old CDNX Index on December 7, 2001. Due to the fact that this new index is in no way related to the old CDNX index, a baseline value of 1000 was determined as a starting point for the calculation of the new index's value. This number does not reflect a lower relative worth for the CDNX market - rather, it is a starting point for the measurement of the relative worth of the CDNX market going forward from December 10, 2001.
