Standard and Poors announced last week that 72 income trusts are being added to the TSX Composite Index at 50% of their total market capitalization. Large income trusts like Canadian Oil Sands Trust (COS.UN), Yellow Pages (YLO.UN) and Riocan REIT (REI.UN) are now members of the composite index. The index will reflect the full market capitalization of the component trusts after the next rebalancing in the first quarter of 2006.

TD Bank has already announced that TD index mutual funds and ETFs have been rebalanced to reflect the composition of the index.
