About MJUS

MJUSTM is designed to give investors exposure to cannabis companies operating in the United States, including multi-state operators (MSOs) directly involved in the cultivation, production, marketing and distribution of cannabis or cannabis-related products.

  • With 23 states and D.C. having legalized cannabis, MJUSTM has the potential to grow as U.S.-based companies benefit from the legalization and ease on rules and regulations.
  • As the largest cannabis market in the world, the U.S. is expected to reach $30 billion in legal sales in 2022 and continue to be a driving force in worldwide legalization.4
  • More consumers entering the market in states where cannabis is legal and a number of measures in place to liberalize federal regulation (i.e. de-scheduling, decriminalizing, the SAFE Act, States Act and More Act) are all factors driving growth in the U.S.

About the Fund

The U.S. Alternative Harvest ETF (MJUSTM) is a portfolio of companies that are active in the United States cannabis market. MJUSTM is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of companies that derive at least 50% of their net revenue from the “Cannabis Business” in the United States, and in derivatives that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.

About the Index

The Prime U.S. Alternative Harvest Index (the “Index”) is an Index of Prime Indexes, a division of Level ETF Ventures LLC. The Index has been created to provide investors with a reference measure that enables them to track both event-driven news and long-term trends of “U.S. Cannabis Companies.”

“U.S. Cannabis Companies” are classified as those that derive at least 50% of their net revenue in the United States. These companies are further defined as those that cultivate, produce, market or distribute the following: industrial hemp, products containing cannabis-derived products, prescription drugs or supplements or food products that include cannabis or cannabis-derived products, or provide products or services designed for, or used by, companies in the cannabis industry, including technology, real estate or financial services. An investment cannot be made directly in an Index.

As of November 2022. The above map is intended to show U.S. states that have passed legislation to legalize the use of either recreational or medicinal marijuana. Prospective investors should understand the possession and use of marijuana, even for medical purposes, is still illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its possession and use remains a violation of federal law.
