Our trade alert for today highlights another way to invest in cannabis, for those who may be late to the game.
Choosing individual stocks can be time consuming an risky. Especially in unfamiliar territory. You don’t need to become an expert on the ever flourishing marijuana space just to find the right company to invest in. Consider investing in an ETF instead. ETFs take the guesswork out of investing because in essence, you have a seasoned investor, or team doing the legwork for you. In our opinion, one of the most well managed pot ETfs available is The AdvisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF (YOLO).
Based on performance over the past year, YOLO is the best performing marijuana ETF for Q1 2021. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in cannabis equity securities. YOLO is designed to fully-invest for pure cannabis exposure under the guidance of a deeply experienced portfolio management team navigating the emerging cannabis marketplace.
It holds stocks of both domestic and foreign companies, but is primarily focused on those located in the U.S. and Canada. It also focuses on companies that specialize in offering consumer cannabis products. The ETF follows a blended strategy, investing in both value and growth stocks with various market capitalizations. The fund holds a relatively large share of cash as a percentage of total assets, at 22.8%. Aside from that cash component, the fund’s top holdings include names like Village Farms International Inc. (VFFTO), a company that operates agricultural greenhouse facilities and raises various produce; Innovative Industrial Properties Inc (IIPR), a REIT focused on industrial properties leased to tenants in the cannabis industry; and GrowGeneration Corp (GRWG), an agricultural products distributor.
