Our read on CNBS
DCannabis, undiluted. CNBS runs a roughly 30-stock portfolio built on a purity test: holdings must earn at least half their revenue from the cannabis and hemp ecosystem. Trading since 2019, it's a concentrated take on the theme, not a broad basket.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies engaged in cannabis and hemp-related activities. At least 80% of net assets is invested in companies deriving at least half of their revenue from the cannabis and hemp ecosystem.
Why people hold it
- The purity rule is the whole point: at least 80% of assets go to companies earning half or more of their revenue from cannabis and hemp, so conglomerates with a side bet in the plant don't qualify.
- About 30 names, which means each position actually moves the fund. A concentrated expression of the theme instead of a diluted sector sweep.
- A plain 1940 Act fund operating since 2019: familiar ETF plumbing and 1099 tax reporting rather than a partnership K-1.
Worth knowing
- The 1.09% expense ratio sits above the cannabis-fund median, and well above cheaper shelf-mates like WEED at 0.41% and MSOS at 0.81%. You're paying up in this aisle.
- It trades lighter than the category's most active funds, so bid-ask spreads can be wider and size can push the price around.
- The mandate is capital appreciation. Income isn't part of the design, and the fund has not been making distributions.
