Customer User Cases
Buyers and Sellers
Use price benchmarks to set price and transact with confidence.
Crop Insurers
Use wholesale cannabis prices and yield analysis to build actuarial tables to determine crop insurance premiums.
Accountants
Use cannabis prices by type of grow to determine an asset’s value for an acquisition or divestiture. Additionally, market prices are used in preparing financial statements and tax returns, for example, in determining the value of inventory, as well as trade-related mark-to-market / fair value accounting.
Debt and Equity Analysts
Rating a bond or stock can use the most applicable spot and forward prices (and the history) to evaluate the likelihood that a company can make interest payments or grow earnings per share.
Investors
Can use the price streams to evaluate and compare competing investment opportunities (e.g., what’s a better investment, an indoor grow in Illinois or a greenhouse grow in Michigan?).
Operators
Cultivation facilities and dispensaries looking to grow can determine the best investment: expansion of a current facility in one location or opening a second facility in a different location.
Hedge Funds
Can use the different price streams to optimize their portfolio of cannabis businesses, as well as implement trading and risk management programs using the spreads and correlations among and between different commodities and financial instruments. Additionally, they use price benchmarks to index and settle both physical and financial transactions.
Risk Managers
Use commodity prices to measure, report and manage a firm’s risk, for example, a hedge fund or trader’s Cash Flow at Risk (CFaR), or Earnings at Risk (EaR), as well as to comply with a variety of required filings, including mark-to-market / fair value accounting.
Speculative/Futures Traders
Use the prices, spreads and correlations among and between different commodities and financial instruments to develop proprietary trading algorithms which could incorporate cannabis prices, even if they are trading soybeans, weather derivatives, bonds in farm equipment companies, or equities in fertilizer companies. Additionally, they use price benchmarks to index and settle financial transactions.
