The path towards a recognisable and recognised quality in the nutraceutical i...Marco Fiorani
In the industrialised countries nutraceuticals gained a leading role in the healthcare. Three are the key players: consumers more and more attentive and proactive towards health and well-being, the medical community and the scientific research in recognising the role of nutraceuticals in maintaining people healthy (with a concept of health that goes beyond the non-disease and includes the complete physical and mental well-being), and the industry with it’s investments in R&D. The industry outlook is good although there is a lot of work to do especially in terms of the reputation of the industry, recognition of its role in the field of healthcare for the individual well-being and also in terms of collective welfare and savings for the NHS. Some of the main problems to be overcome are: the identification and recognition of the quality standard and the safety profiles of the products put into the market, including specific GMP standards and shared criteria to define the health claims to support appropriate communication to the consumer.

This document examines the emerging industry of impact investing, which aims to generate both social/environmental benefits and financial returns. While the potential size of this market is large, impact investing currently remains small and disorganized. There are risks that it could remain a niche or fail to fulfill its promise of addressing social challenges at scale. However, the needs of the times call for more assets to be directed in this way. With leadership and coordination, impact investing could mature into a major complementary force through initiatives like developing new intermediaries, standardizing metrics, and increasing deal flow. Realizing its potential will require overcoming risks of the work being too difficult or easy.

Venture capital has its origins in wealthy individuals and groups investing in private companies in the US. In the 1960s and 70s, specialized venture capital firms emerged on the West and East coasts to systematically invest in early-stage technology companies. Government policies in the late 70s expanded the pool of capital available for venture investing by allowing pension funds to allocate to venture capital and reducing capital gains taxes. The 1980s saw a boom in venture capital activity and IPOs, though returns declined. The number of new venture capital firms then declined through the early 90s as opportunities waned.
