Abstract
"Nanotechnology has silently transformed product design and innovation in a number of sectors. Today it can be found in a wide range of everyday products and packaging, from automobile tires to skin lotion. However, as with many emerging technologies, the potential benefits from nanotechnology are accompanied by emerging risks. Current understanding of the potential risks of nanotechnology is limited and regulations lag behind technological development. Given this uncertainty, how can investors address this new area? This brief offers investors a roadmap to navigate the potential risks and opportunities of this emerging industry."
