MJO, a 2x leveraged ETN, and MJJ, an unleveraged ETN, seek to provide targeted exposure to the North American cannabis industry

NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - REX Shares, LLC (REX) today added to its MicroSectors™ lineup with the launch of MJO, the first leveraged exchange-traded product in the U.S. linked to the cannabis industry. MJO, an Exchange-Traded Note (ETN), is linked to MSMJ, the Indxx MicroSectors™ North American Cannabis Index, and will seek to provide 2x leveraged exposure to the Index.

In addition, REX announced the launch of MJJ, a 1x version of the Exchange Traded Notes linked to the Index. The MicroSectors Cannabis 2x Leveraged ETN (symbol: MJO) and MicroSectors Cannabis Index ETN (symbol: MJJ) started trading today on NYSE Arca. The ETNs are senior, unsecured obligations issued by the Bank of Montreal.

The Index provides a quarterly IPO review for new issuances and a quarterly review for stocks facing potential regulatory bars to engaging in the cannabis industry. The Index selects U.S. and Canadian constituents from five key sub-themes: Cultivator, Pharmaceuticals, Testing & Analytics, Industrial Hemp, and Ancillary. Companies are screened as either pure play or quasi play depending on the percentage of revenue that is derived from Cannabis.

REX sees large demand for ETNs in this sector. "We created the MicroSectors lineup to innovate the ETP landscape and launch 'first of' products like this first 2x Cannabis ETN in the United States," said Scott Acheychek, President of REX. "The Bank of Montreal has been a great partner and we enjoyed working with Indxx for the first time on this index. We are all thrilled to launch these ETNs. They represent a tremendous step forward for cannabis stock investing and trading, and we believe they are providing many U.S. investors with the targeted North American cannabis industry exposure they're looking for."   

As the first leveraged exchange-traded cannabis product available in the U.S., MJO opens up new trading possibilities for sophisticated investors. "We're particularly excited about providing U.S. tactical investors with daily 2x leveraged exposure to the cannabis industry," Acheychek continued. "We think it will serve as a valuable additional tool in investors' trading toolkits."

Disclosures

Investment suitability must be determined individually for each investor, and the ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. This information is not intended to provide and should not be relied upon as providing accounting, legal, regulatory or tax advice.  Investors should consult with their own financial advisors as to these matters. Investors should read the applicable offering documents described below, and in particular, the risk factors set forth therein, prior to making an investment decision.

The 2x ETNs are intended to be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily trading risks as part of an overall diversified portfolio. They are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily basis, as described in the applicable pricing supplement.

Bank of Montreal, the issuer of the ETNs, has filed a registration statement (including certain pricing supplements, product supplements, a prospectus supplement and a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") about each of the offerings to which this press release relates. Please read those documents and the other documents relating to these offerings that Bank of Montreal has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Bank of Montreal and these offerings. These documents may be obtained without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Bank of Montreal, any agent or any dealer participating in these offerings will arrange to send the applicable pricing supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus if so requested by calling toll-free at 1-877-369-5412.
