However, the fund doesn’t own many of Canada’s largest pot companies.Industry pioneers Canopy Growth Corp., Aurora Cannabis Inc. and Aphria Inc. are absent. So are companies that more recently became some of Canada’s most valuable – Curaleaf Holdings Inc., Cronos Group Inc. and Green Thumb Industries Inc.
