Potential Impact on the Cannabis Industry

7.0 Potential Impact on the Cannabis Industry

7.1 Facilitating Investment Opportunities

The New Leaf Fund provides an entirely unique perspective upon investment in the Cannabis industry, as well as its assessment of individual Cannabis assets.

The deliberate de-coupling of selected Cannabis assets from business models, under performing management and unproductive assets has never been available before. This focus upon, and support of, selected assets will serve to influence Cannabis businesses to pursue worthy commercial outcomes rather than to simply follow disproved ‘accepted wisdom’.

The New Leaf Fund seeks to be an example of how viable investment can be made into this sector and to expand those investment opportunities. It is hoped that in providing a secure and regulated marketplace for these new tokenised premium Cannabis assets, we will attract new investors and stimulate growth within the industry.

7.2 Democratizing Cannabis Ownership

New Leaf Finance’s unique approach makes Cannabis investment more accessible by:

• Identifying and promoting worthy commercial Cannabis assets;

• Breaking down or overcoming existing barriers to investment;

• Providing an entirely new investment thesis and structure;

• Allowing a broader range of individuals to participate in the market irrespective of geographical location or accreditation; and

• Accesses a truly international portfolio of industry assets.

All of this promotes democratisation and inclusivity, as well as broader support for the Cannabis industry.

7.3 Promoting Industry Standards and Best Practices

New Leaf Finance itself will adopt investment industry ‘best practice’ standards of compliance, transparency, ethics, environmental sustainability and commercial probity. These standards will be also required from all its investments at all time.

Through its governance mechanisms, the Fund will also encourage the adoption of industry standards and best practices, fostering a responsible and sustainable Cannabis industry
