Ninepoint Cannabis & Alternative Health Fund

Overview

A more health-conscious consumer, an aging population, and legalization of cannabis have introduced new investment opportunities in the alternative health care sector.

Ninepoint Cannabis & Alternative Health Fund can help investors benefit from:

Increasing demand for alternative healthcare

The use of nutraceuticals and cannabis to treat and prevent disease is expected to grow as new applications increase.
Access to an early stage sector

With the legalization of cannabis, the industry is anticipating high growth in medical and recreational use.
Aging demographics

A rise in healthcare expenditures, driven by an aging global population, is pushing consumers to seek cheaper alternatives to treat chronic conditions.
Focus on reducing volatility

Active management helps to reduce the risk of investing in the volatile cannabis sector by investing in liquid securities and allocating to other nutraceutical sectors.

Fund Objective

The Fund’s objective is to achieve growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies engaged in nutrition, nutraceuticals and new forms of medicines and pharmaceutical solutions (including cannabis).
