Nova Cannabis Inc. has been added to the Cannabis ETF, an exchange traded fund listed on the NYSE Arca.
“As a newly listed company, Nova’s inclusion in the THCX is a strong validation of our business strategy and unique, focused position within the retail cannabis landscape,” said Darren Karasiuk, CEO of Nova. “We are excited that through the THCX ETF, more US and international investors will gain exposure to our strategy, which is purpose-built to disrupt cannabis retail in Canada by delivering an unparalleled value proposition to the high-volume, value-conscious consumers that makes up the majority of the cannabis marketplace.”
The THCX tracks the Innovation Labs Cannabis Index, a portfolio of 33 stocks that are expected to benefit from the growth of the legal global marijuana, cannabidiol (“CBD”) and hemp industries. Nova’s inclusion in the index is part of THCX’s further expansion into various cannabis sub-themes, including Nova Cannabis’ unique value-focused retail position. At the core of Nova’s strategy is the recognition that inside the four walls of a retail store is the only place where brands will be built and the unparalleled value and prominence that brings to the retail sector of the cannabis market.
