Product pipeline heats up for marijuana funds

Redwood launches actively managed strategy.

Rudy Luukko 1 February, 2018 | 6:00PM

Competition among fund managers in the currently booming but highly volatile niche of marijuana stocks is heating up.

Marijuana Opportunities, sponsored by Redwood Asset Management Inc., today became the first actively managed fund available to retail investors seeking diversified exposure to the marijuana industry in Canada. The strategy opened for trading as an exchange-traded fund listed on the NEO Exchange (symbol: MJJ), and is also available as a mutual fund.

The portfolio manager is Redwood's Greg Taylor, who at the outset will invest exclusively in a concentrated portfolio of Canadian companies. The initial portfolio will consist of up to 15 stocks, all of which are listed on either the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst's estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock's fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn't. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
