The North American Medical Marijuana Index is designed to provide exposure to the performance of a basket of North American publicly listed companies with significant business activities in the marijuana industry.”
WeedMD jumped the gun and announced its inclusion on December 8th. “WeedMD’s inclusion in the North American Medical Marijuana Index caps a breakout year for the Company which saw us execute and achieve a range of significant licensing, operational and corporate milestones,” said Michael Kraft, Chairman of WeedMD. “Since announcing our landmark greenhouse expansion, WeedMD has seen incredible support from existing and new shareholders, and we look forward to broadening our shareholder base through our inclusion in the benchmark, and ultimately, the ETF.
The ETF was originally priced at a net asset value of C$10.00 and was lately trading at C$15.18.
