Steve Hawkins of Horizons ETFs is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
Horizons ETFs
Horizons president and CEO Steve Hawkins has been a regular fixture in financial media over the past couple of months, following his company’s launch of the world’s first marijuana-focused ETF in April. The Horizons Medical Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (HMMJ) includes licensed medical marijuana producers in Canada, as well as various ancillary companies across North America. With the legalization of recreational cannabis slated for Canada Day 2018, Hawkins has been a noted advocate for the vast potential of this burgeoning industry. Currently, Horizons has 77 ETFs listed on the TSX and more than $7.5 billion of assets under management; Hawkins and his team will be hoping the firm’s latest product can boost that number considerably in the years ahead.
