Canadian financial firm TMX Group says it remains part of S&P index
By Dan Freed
(Reuters) - Canadian financial company TMX Group Ltd (Toronto:X.TO - News) said on Sunday it had not been removed from a major Canadian index run by S&P Global Inc (NYSE:SPGI - News) despite what a spokesman said was an erroneous press release by S&P unit Capital IQ Inc saying it had been removed.
TMX spokesman Shane Quinn told Reuters TMX had confirmed with S&P that it had not been removed from the S&P/TSX Composite Index (.SPTSE).
"We wanted to make sure the marketplace had the correct information," he said.
An S&P spokesman had no immediate response on Sunday night.
