"...Toronto’s benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged 37 per cent from peak to trough, then clawed its way back to post a 2.17 per cent gain in 2020. That’s good for 33rd out of 92 major global indices, with the TSX sandwiched between Malaysia and Norway in terms of total 2020 returns, but badly lagging the 16 per cent return on the S&P 500 as surging tech stocks turbocharged the bounceback south of the border.

Here’s a look at how things played out on the TSX in the most tumultuous year in recent memory. Returns are as Dec. 30 closing levels.

Top Sectors:

Information Technology: +80.3 per cent

Materials: +19.5 per cent

Industrials: +15.3 per cent

Consumer Discretionary: +14.4 per cent

Utilities: +10.6 per cent
