PETER THIEL, WE’RE ON YOUR TAIL!

President Biden, his vice president Kamala Harris, and majority leader Chuck Schumer are all in favor of sweeping legalization of cannabis, as well as several billionaires, who are bullish on the prospects of this industry.

Venture capitalist Peter Thiel is one of them. He is one of the investors behind Privateer Holdings, which owns several cannabis brands.

Thiel co-founded PayPal and in 2015, his venture capital firm, The Founders Fund, backed research into medical cannabis products.

Thiel contributed $300,000 to the California ballot campaign that paved the way for legalization in that state.

Ken Griffin’s Citadel Advisors opened a position in or added to at least four different cannabis stocks in recent months.

Billionaire Jim Simons’ Renaissance Technologies acquired nearly 1.4 million shares of a larger cannabis company during the fourth quarter of last year.

Another Billionaire hedge fund investor, Leon Cooperman, has confirmed that he has personal money in the cannabis industry.

Cooperman founded Omega Advisors in 1991. The firm has approximately $3.8 billion in assets under management.

The company that we’re specifically bullish on (it’s our only position, that’s it) has a diversified busienss model and includes both traditional and cannabis-infused manufacturing!

This is a company we profiled for the first time just 30 days ago. You should look at what has happened as a professional would. Its price has pulled back and we want to both reiterate what makes it interesting and to show what has happened in the past 30 days, because there have been some significant additions: 

1. At the heart of the company is a 40,000-square-foot, HACCP-certified beverage facility (bottling capacity of up to 210 million bottles per annum), 315 acres of cultivatable land, a natural alkaline spring water aquifer, and beverage manufacturing equipment independently valued at nearly $40M as of January 2021.

Direct ownership of one of the world’s purest water sources is a massive development for a premier beverage business. BevCanna’s exclusive on-site alkaline spring water source has been independently valued at $18 million.

When looking at this, here’s the competitive advantage that it creates, in our view:

First of all, BevCanna’s manufacturing plant is HACCP-certified. HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point and it involves rigorous checkpoints to gain approval.

BevCanna’s HACCP certification provides independent, third-party assurance to all stakeholders that the company has developed, documented, and implemented systems and procedures in order to maintain the utmost quality and safety of all products at the manufacturing facility.

BevCanna’s manufacturing plant is also Health Canada approved! In order to reach this stage, had a new entrant sought to build its own facility and permit it for the manufacturing of cannabis-related products, it would require anywhere between two and five years!

Keep that firmly in mind.

2. The 40,000-square-foot facility is divided between the 30,000-square-feet that manufactures consumer-packaged goods and the rest, which is approved for cannabis-related products.

The company owns (A) its in-house brands, (B) white label agreements for others and (C) exclusive distribution agreements.​

We believe that the most important catalyst to keep in mind is that BevCanna announced last week that it anticipates expanding into the Asia-Pacific region. It intends to launch its portfolio of Trace health and wellnessproducts in the key markets of Japan, China and the Philippines.

This region reaches a combined population of 1.633bn or 21% of the world’s citizenry. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, particularly in Japan and China, BevCanna’s management believes.

Two-thirds of Asian consumers believe in superfoods and natural health products for treating ailments, representing a prime demographic for wellness-focused products. This market could be ideal for BevCanna!
