So-called sin stocks have historically fallen into three main buckets: tobacco, alcohol and gambling. A fourth bucket, marijuana stocks, has developed over the past few years as recreational use of cannabis is more widely adopted.

Where there are stocks, there are exchange-traded (ETFs) and mutual funds that in one way or another are also trying to post a return on sin. We’ve already reviewed the marijuana funds available to U.S. investors, but more are likely to show up. And now that tobacco companies and beer and alcoholic beverage makers are investing in both smokeless tobacco products (e-cigarettes like Juul) and marijuana firms, more investors have exposure to the sin groups.

The largest companies in the sin trade, the ones that appear among the top holdings of several sin ETFs, are Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO), Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM), Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ) and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS). Altria and Philip Morris make and market Marlboro cigarettes, among other brands, with Altria doing the U.S. business and Philip Morris the international. Constellation Brands owns beer brands Corona, Modelo and Pacifico, among others, as well as several wine brands. It trails far behind Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE: BUD) in market cap but is among the top holdings in the large ETFs.

Diversifying has been the recent modus operandi of the big sin companies. Constellation Brands acquired a $4 billion stake last December in Canada-based marijuana grower Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC), while Altria paid $1.8 billion for a stake in Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON). Not to be left behind, Altria last year took a $13 billion minority stake in e-cigarette maker Juul.
