  • Khiron Life Sciences
    12th July 2019 BUY KHIRON LIFE Fair Value CAD4 SCIENCES Share price EUR1.90 Bloomberg / Reuters KHRN CN/KHRN.V Consumer, Brands & Retail Cannabis Bold Ambition Khiron is set up to be a leader in the Latin American medicinal and branded CPG cannabis markets. From its base in Colombia it is spreading out into Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil. Supported by a strong team of seasoned entrepreneurs (and a knowledgeable Board that includes former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox), the company is aiming to take a first mover advantage in the medicinal cannabis and CBD- based branded Consumer packaged goods. We initiate the stock with Buy and a fair value of CAD4.0 per share offering a 100% upside. Its position in medically-validated cannabis products is most advanced in Colombia where the company is fully licensed for the cultivation, production, domestic distribution, and international export of both THC and CBD medical cannabis. It is currently preparing the market for its medicinal cannabis products (to be launched in H2 2019) through in-person clinic consultations, medical association alliances, alliances with pharmacies, health insurance and providing physicians with a variety of cannabis education platforms. In order to accelerate the market development and its own market position, the company has already bought the ILANS clinics in Colombia but we expect more to come. The advantage of running its own neuropathic clinic is that it is much easier to educate doctors in the uses of medicinal cannabis and to switch patients towards the use of medicinal cannabis. Meanwhile, the company’s own developed CBD ski- care brand Kuida is leading the efforts in the health & wellness category.

  • CANNABIS in LATIN AMERICA: the Regulations and Opportunities
    CANNABIS IN LATIN AMERICA: The Regulations and Opportunities © 2019 Anne Holland Ventures Inc. All Rights Reserved RE S GIS N T IG E S R E E D D C Y O T I M N M U Cannabis in Latin America: The Regulations and Opportunities MJBIZDAILY.COM/INTL CANNABIS IN LATIN AMERICA: THE REGULATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES The marijuana industry continues to expand internationally, with Latin America and the Caribbean becoming increasingly more difficult to ignore for companies with global aspirations. The geographical region that stretches from the southern border of the United States until the southern tip of South America, including the Caribbean, is home to about 650 million people, of which the vast majority live in a country with some sort of legal medical cannabis. The sheer number of inhabitants, ideal growing conditions in large parts of the region and jurisdictions in favor of production for export signal potentially huge business opportunities. With this report, our goal is to provide a sober analysis, recognizing the prospects that the region as a whole and each country in particular offer. But we also pay close attention to Alfredo Pascual the other side of the coin: weighing the unique challenges of investing or doing business in these jurisdictions. Whenever world maps are colored to show the countries that have some form of legal medical cannabis framework, Latin America is included almost in its entirety. But, as is often the case, the devil is in the details. Restrictive access schemes, lack of health insurance coverage and widespread home growing moderate any initial excitement about the commercial opportunities in these markets.
