Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

WEEDBRoundhill Cannabis ETF

YOLOCAdvisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF

In short

WEED The cannabis fund that launched on 4/20 and undercuts its whole category on fee: 0.41% a year against a cohort median of 0.91%. Exposure to US multi-state operators runs mostly through total return swaps, not direct share ownership.

YOLO Cannabis's original active fund. Since 2019 a manager, not an index, has picked a short list of names on both sides of the US-Canada border, under a purity test: at least half of a company's revenue must come from marijuana or hemp.

Stated mandate

WEED The Fund seeks capital growth through investments primarily in exchange-listed equity securities and total return swaps that provide exposure to the cannabis and hemp ecosystem.

YOLO The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • WEED Cheapest ticket in the cannabis aisle at 0.41% a year, well under the 0.91% cohort median.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Reaches US plant-touching operators through total return swaps instead of direct shares, pledging cash and cash equivalents as collateral behind them.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Actively managed and pointed at a short list of leading US multi-state operators rather than a sprawl of ancillary picks-and-shovels names.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Listed options trade on it, which is uncommon for a fund this small.roundhillinvestments.com
  • YOLO First US-listed active ETF with a dedicated cannabis mandate, trading since 2019. A manager picks the names instead of a rules-based index.prnewswire.com
  • The "pure" is contractual: 80% of assets must sit in companies earning at least half their net revenue from marijuana and hemp. No tobacco or fertilizer ride-alongs.advisorshares.com
  • Covers both sides of the border: exchange-listed cannabis equities plus US plant-touching exposure reached through an affiliated ETF and total return swaps.advisorshares.com
  • The 0.91% fee lands mid-pack for cannabis ETFs, under MJ (1.12%) and CNBS (1.09%).

Worth knowing

  • WEED Small and thinly traded, so spreads and market impact can eat more than the low fee saves.
  • Swaps bring counterparty risk, and a meaningful slice of the portfolio sits in cash-like collateral rather than in stocks.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Concentrated, capital-growth mandate with no income component, in a theme that swings hard on regulatory news.
  • YOLO Cheaper ways into the theme exist: WEED charges 0.41%, and sibling MSOS charges 0.81% for a US-only book.
  • Thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can run wide and larger orders can move the price.
  • Concentrated by design: a couple dozen mid- and small-cap positions, non-diversified, with swap holdings adding counterparty exposure.advisorshares.com
