Jerome Hass, Chief Executive Officer, Lightwater Partners Ltd. (“Lightwater Partners” or the “Company”) and his team, joined Graham MacKenzie, Managing Director, Exchange Traded Products, Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), to open the market and celebrate Canada's newest ETF provider and the launch of their first ETF: All-Canadian Oil & Gas ETF (TSX: COIL).

Lightwater Partners believes institutional investors tend to focus on the largest and most liquid Canadian energy companies, which have historically traded at higher valuation multiples, creating opportunities within the under‑followed mid-cap segment.
