问题如下：
To satisfy Winthrop’s benchmark and security selection specifications, the Canadian equity index benchmark Tong selects should be:
选项：
A.small-capitalization with a core tilt.
B.large-capitalization with a value tilt.
C.mid-capitalization with a growth tilt.
解释：
B is correct. To address Winthrop’s concerns (sector diversification, liquidity, risk, dividend yield, P/E, and P/B), the Canadian equity index benchmark should consist of large-capitalization stocks with a value tilt. A large-capitalization index contains the largest-cap stocks, which tend to have the highest liquidity. Value stocks tend to exhibit high dividend yields and low P/E and P/B ratios.
A is incorrect because small-capitalization stocks tend to be riskier than large-capitalization stocks. Winthrop has a preference for low-beta (risk) stocks.
C is incorrect because a growth index will not address Winthrop’s preference for a low P/E. Growth stocks exhibit characteristics such as high price momentum, high P/Es, and high EPS growth.
老师，请教下“core tilt”具体指什么？
