The New Year’s rally in pot stocks has sent assets in the first marijuana exchange-traded fund back above C$1 billion for the first time since Oct. 18, the day after Canada legalized recreational pot.

The Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF reclaimed the C$1 billion ($761 million) mark on Monday. Assets in the fund had dipped as low as C$624 million on Dec. 21.
