Cannabis Central: This Actively Managed ETF Consists Of 23 "Pot" Stocks

Purpose Marijuana Opportunities Fund ETF (NEO:MJJ) is Canada's first actively managed cannabis fund, designed to help investors grow their portfolios by tapping into the burgeoning global cannabis industry.

The MJJ Objective

While the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, it also owns 7 other types of securities of publicly listed companies, including, but not limited to, ADRs, preferred shares, convertible securities, debt securities, subscription receipts, options and warrants giving this actively managed cannabis ETF the ability to navigate the many nuances that are part of the burgeoning industry, including volatility and industry consolidation.
