CSE Reports Strong Listings Growth in May 2021 Including a Landmark IPO

The Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE" or "the Exchange") today announced its market statistics for the month of May 2021. The month was highlighted by near-record growth in listings.

May 2021 Statistics

● Trading volume of CSE-listed securities totaled 2.6 billion shares;

● Trading value of CSE-listed securities was $2.2 billion;

● CSE issuers completed 61 financings that raised approximately $262 million in aggregate;

● There were 24 new listings, the second largest monthly total in the Exchange's history, bringing total CSE listings to 674; and

● As a result of the growth in listings, and general appreciation in valuations, the aggregate market value of CSE issuers was $63.3 billion as at May 31, 2021, compared to $42.1 billion at year-end 2020.

"The second quarter of 2021 is on track to be one of the strongest quarters for new listings in the CSE's history," said Richard Carleton, CSE Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to attract many impressive new issuers during the month of May. Among them was Ascend Wellness Holdings, which raised US$92 million through an initial public offering. The transaction valued the company at US$1.35 billion, resulting in the largest capitalized company to ever IPO on the Exchange. It is another example of how we are the preferred public market destination for leading cannabis companies."

What's On at the CSE: Cannabis and Esports in Focus

Following the CSE's successful recent showcases of the Canadian mining industry (Mining Over Canada) and the plant protein sector (Plant Protein: The New Age of Food), the Exchange presented the Cannabis Investor Series in May 2021. On each Tuesday in May, the CSE presented a deep dive into a different facet of the cannabis sector. The series, which was well received by market participants, featured perspectives from a diverse group of experts on the cutting edge of the sector, including executives, athletes, activists and other influencers. Full episodes of the Cannabis Investor Series, along with the CSE's other special programming, can be viewed on the Exchange's YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/csetv.

The CSE participated in the recent Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, a major gathering of North American cannabis entrepreneurs and investors held on June 3-4, 2021. The event was held virtually and had more than 100 expert speakers, including 15 executives of CSE-listed companies. Anna Serin, the CSE's Director of Listings Development, moderated a panel on the resurgence of cannabis capital markets.

5 Small Biotech ETFs to Watch (Updated 2024)

Thanks to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors don’t have to be tied to one specific stock. Biotech ETFs allow market participants to gain leverage in multiple biotech companies via one investment vehicle.

The life science sector can certainly be risky, and ETFs are a good way to enter more safely than by investing in standalone stocks. A key advantage is that even if one company in the ETF takes a hit, the impact will be less direct.

Below the Investing News Network takes a look at five small biotech ETFs for investors to consider. They were selected using ETFdb.com, and their total assets under management (AUM) were under US$100 million as of March 8, 2024. All other figures were also current as of that date. Read on to learn more about these investment vehicles.

5 Biggest Biotechnology ETFs in 2024

Investing in the biotech industry can be a long road to gains given the sector’s volatility.

Even with a good understanding of the system, no one can predict which treatment, device or therapy will give the biggest return, making biotech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) a more secure option than individual biotech stocks.

An ETF is a relatively safe investment route that can minimize losses while offering exposure to multiple companies instead of focusing on the gains and losses of a single biotech stock. With that in mind, here’s a brief look at the five top biotechnology ETFs by total assets. Data was sourced from ETFdb.com on March 1, 2024, and all data was current as of that time.
