There will be tips for newcomers, and updates on strategies for the seasoned relative trend analysis™ (RTA) users among our membership.

Topic of the Week… Niche Sector Indexes – Canada

wpid-subsectors-2015-06-1-21-49.jpg

Some parts of a pie just can’t be fit together. Last week we discussed how the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) can be used to create a pie chart showing an entire country’s economy from the perspective of it’s publicly traded companies. All companies ultimately belong to just one of 10 sectors, so it’s meaningful to review the size of each sector (percentage-wise), without worrying about overlap. We compared the S&P 500 pool of companies with the S&P/TSX Composite Index pool last week to highlight the differences. This week we review some equity based indexes that don’t fit together so neatly. There are quite a number of specialized indexes that have been created from investor demand, rather than because they fit together in an integrated fashion. We have a look at about 20 of these, designed for the Toronto Stock Exchange. The S&P indexing group manages all of the TSX indexes these days, so these are no exception. Based on our preference for top-down stock picking, some of these can be quite useful.
