Intelligent investors and professional asset managers are always looking for new opportunities to diversify their portfolios and mitigate their risk exposure to traditional investment assets like stocks and bonds, typically accomplished with alternative assets. Alternative investments refer to a broad range of investment assets that are “non-correlated” to the price – movement and volatility of stocks and bonds.
Oil & gas (which you can invest in via EnergyFunders), hedge-funds, real estate, franchises, private company stock and franchises are examples of alternative investments. Cannabis is an example of a newly emerging alternative asset class that all accredited investors should have some exposure to as part of a well-diversified portfolio.
Cannabidiol or CBD or Hemp is LEGAL and classified as therapeutic, so it’s free from the stigma attached to THC and marijuana. Many countries are taking advantage of cannabis stocks where in places like Germany they have Aktien von Cannabis Unternehmen kaufen, which means shares of cannabis companies. It is well worth looking into various countries for investment opportunities because this where your money really begins to grow.
Hemp is a unique plant with over 25,000 diverse uses worldwide! Hemp intersects more markets and industries globally than any other crop in the agricultural economy.
In fact, cannabis touches so many verticals that investors can focus their attention on which verticals are the best fit for their portfolios and investment goals.
Diversified Investors can have investments in virtually every aspect of the agricultural spectrum known as “seed to sale” knowing that it’s all investable.
From genetic-level seed breeding
to hemp cultivation, harvesting and drying
to the process of distillation and extraction
to thousands of CBD based products, cosmetics,
to Real Estate opportunities that include investing in facilities and land for grow operations
to “quality and consistency” testing facilities
to grow hardware and technology
to thousands of Pharma related applications
to virtual unlimited Culinary applications, way beyond edibles.
Ultimately, given the diversity of investment opportunities in the cannabis industry, the challenge for investors and their advisors is about finding which vertical(s) provide the “best fit” for their portfolios!
