 | | Leveraged access to marijuana market
Light the blue touch paper – this week’s newsletter, and our last for the year, brings you the launch of the first leveraged ETF investing in the cannabis industry. This industry has shown enormous growth over the pond with marijuana legalised in Canada and some states in North America. It’s those winners from the ETF awards, MicroSectors, who bring the world this product. It’s certainly one to watch.
In other news we have Derek Fulton from First Trust who outlines their approach to fixed income. “There is concern amongst investors that in the passive market capitalisation indices, their fixed income portfolios may be overloaded with sets of risks that are not balanced. Yet if they allocate to active investors, the risks in the portfolios are not transparent,” Fulton says.
And now, please raise your glass to our elves who have been very hard at work giving us a new look for the New Year – we are very excited about our redesign and look forward to filling our newly designed pages with all the strong stories that you expect from us in the coming year.
We at ETF Express would like to take this moment to wish you all very happy holidays and New Year.
Please do find the time to vote in our European ETF awards 2020. All the details you need are here…

| | | | | | | | |  | | The broker, the baker & the ETF maker all brought chaos in 2019 Such has been the political din over the last 12 months, both here in Europe and the US, one can be forgiven if you weren’t able to keep abreast of the digital chaos that cut through the financial services industry. Trust me, as the saying goes, there was chaos. |
