Abstract:
Investors interested in tracking nanotechnology finally got what they wanted: a stock index. It comes from Punk, Ziegel & Co., a New York-based investment bank specializing in health-care technology and biotech. The firm has been tracking nanotechnology closely the last two years and it successfully underwrote a 2.3-million-share secondary public offering for Harris & Harris Group Inc., a venture firm specializing in micro- and nanotechnology, in 2003. The index includes 15 publicly traded companies active in nanotechnology. (more on earlier article)
