Dazed By The Cannabis ETF Whirlwind? Here Is A Short Guide To Survival
Portfolio Pulse from Patricio Liddle
Cannabis ETFs are experiencing dynamic changes due to significant regulatory shifts, notably the Department of Health and Human Services' recommendation to reclassify cannabis, and growing Congressional support. The introduction of swap options for U.S. Multi-State Operators (MSOs) has allowed ETFs like MSOS to navigate federal restrictions, leading to a notable performance disparity among cannabis ETFs. MSOX has seen an 88.4% increase YTD, while THCX and POTX are set to close due to challenges from lacking U.S. MSO swap exposure.
