The Claymore S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend ETF has been designed to replicate the performance of the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index.

The index methodology incorporates concentration limits to prevent any stock from being more than 8% of the Index weight, any income trust constituent from being more than 5% of the Index weight and income trusts in aggregate from exceeding 30% of the Index weight at each quarterly rebalancing.
