About The Family Advantage – Spring 2022 Report
The
Family Advantage 2022 updates and enriches the 2020 edition of the
report. It presents the NBC Canadian Family Index calculated by
S&P Dow Jones Indices, which tracks and measures the performance
of Canadian companies controlled by families relative to the
S&P/TSX Composite Index, the main index of the stock market. The
Family Index includes 44 family-owned Canadian companies in different
sectors across the country (see the full list of companies included in
the Appendix) and is based on the application of objective
quantitative criteria to an index universe provided by S&P Dow
Jones Indices, the Index calculator.
In the NBC Canadian Family Index, a company is considered to be family-controlled if the founding family or founder(s) directly or indirectly hold at least 10% of the company’s voting rights or, alternatively, if individual(s) and/or related entities (not founders) hold at least 33.3% of the company’s voting rights (for more information, please see our website here).
Vincent Joli-Coeur, Philippe Lefebvre Duquette and Alexandre Tessier from National Bank of Canada alongside academic contributor Dr. Karl Moore of McGill University and Oxford University are the co-authors and coordinators of this report.
