In this Thematica Segment, Coreena Robertson sits down with Chris Kerlow, CFA, senior portfolio manager at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management Canada, to discuss the current state of the battery metals sector, Canada’s position in the battery metals industry and how battery metals stocks are reflective of the current EV battery market, among other things.
