Cannabis Investment Manager Silverleaf Venture Enters Strategic Partnership With Hedgeye

Cannabis oriented investment manager, Silverleaf Venture Partners LLC, and investment research firm Hedgeye Risk announced Thursday a strategic partnership.

The idea behind the collaboration is for Hedgeye to grant research and investment consulting services to the General Partner managing Silverleaf’s third investment fund.

The third private fund is projected to reach around $25 million in assets under management and to close by the end of the first quarter of 2020.

“We technically haven’t started raising capital for this third investment vehicle but nearly a quarter of the fund is already spoken for,” said Silverleaf's Douglas Hannah.

Silverleaf will also attain access to Hedgeye’s cannabis research.
