“Just like the ETF industry in Canada, the MoneyShow has grown tremendously in popularity,” said Mr. Hawkins. “Since it began in 2009, the MoneyShow Toronto has become Canada’s premier investing conference. We’re proud to support an organization that is helping Canadians build their financial knowledge.”

Horizons ETFs will lead a number of presentations as part of ‘The World of ETF Investing’ exhibition on September 14. Sessions will offer investors insights on ETFs, including how they work, different types of investment strategies and how to effectively manage your portfolio in changing economic conditions.

“We’re excited to once again have Horizons ETFs as our major partner for the Toronto MoneyShow,” said Kim Githler, Chair & CEO of the MoneyShow. “Horizons ETFs has added tremendous value for our attendees through their in-depth insights on the Canadian ETF landscape.”

As the provider of the world’s first and largest marijuana ETF, Horizons ETFs will also contribute to the ‘Outlook on the Canadian Cannabis Market’ expert panel. The presentation will feature Horizons ETFs’ Senior Vice-President and Head of Sales Strategy Mark Noble, Cam Battley, Chief Operating Officer of Aurora Cannabis and Brett Allan, Vice-President at Green Organic Dutchman Holdings, among others.
