Canada’s Big Five banks all hit new 52-week highs on Tuesday. That’s indicative of how well Canadian stocks have performed in the past 12 months.
While the S&P 500 has gained 21.2% in the past year, the S&P/TSX Composite Index is up 30.8% over the same period. All five of Canada’s big banks are among the 220 stocks that make up the composite index. In fact, they represent the 1st-, 2nd-, 4th-, 6th-, and 7th-largest weightings in the index.
