Namaste Announces Inclusion to the Horizons HMMJ Holdings
VANCOUVER, Sept. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce its inclusion in the Horizons Medical Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (TSX: HMMJ) (the "ETF"). Inclusion in the ETF is as a significant milestone for Namaste as the Company establishes itself as a leader in cannabis-focused e-commerce technology.
The ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the North American Marijuana Index (the "Index"), net of expenses. The Index is designed to provide exposure to the performance of a basket of North American publicly listed life sciences companies with significant business activities in the marijuana industry.
Only stocks that meet minimum asset and liquidity thresholds are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Stocks are rebalanced quarterly on a market-capitalization basis and capped so that no single stock can exceed 10% of the weight of the Index when rebalanced.
