Nanotechnology ETF: Will Small Science Lead To Big Gains?

Abstract:
In much the same way that the rise of the Internet has changed the world over the past two decades, nanotechnology may shape the way we live over the next twenty years.

Since investments in individual nanotech companies are extremely risky, many investors looking to gain exposure to this sector have elected to do so through a well-diversified ETF. The only true nanotech ETF is the PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio ETF (PXN). The fund currently holds 23 stocks and is heavily focused on small cap growth firms with over 55% of the fund's assets going to this class.
