Cannabis ETFs have a bright year ahead following Joe Biden's presidential win, investor Tim Seymour says.

"We're the only derivative-free cannabis ETF that's up year to date," with a nearly 15.5% gain as of Friday's close, Seymour said., the largest pot ETF by assets under management, is down over 22% for 2020.

"This is all about active management. This is all about being someone that's investing in a sector and ... talking to companies and watching the allocations because it's moving very quickly," Seymour said. With states not only continuing to legalize cannabis use, but using revenues from it to "plug holes" in their budgets, pot plays could be close to reversing the "vicious bear market" they've been in for the last year, Seymour said.

"Part of the trade ... was about being defensive. It was about finding the best balance sheets. It was about finding the companies that actually hadn't levered their balance sheet or put a bunch of dilutive equity warrants in their structure. So, that's really what we're doing at CNBS," Seymour said.

"People may or may not believe in what's going on in the cannabis story, but ... this is a national issue," he said. "More importantly, it's a very sophisticated consumer product story and active management and being thematic in this space is what we do and it's working."
