Opioid Addiction
Opioid addiction is a national epidemic with dangerous consequences, and without intervention, it will remain so for decades to come. The increase in opioid use, addiction and related deaths poses a critical challenge to society, as it affects all ages and demographic groups in the U.S. Private capital can play a significant role in combating the opioid crisis. Funding the development of new interventions, alternative drug therapies and innovative technologies can reduce widespread dependence and suffering. Within these distinct approaches lie many opportunities for investors to advance solutions capable of delivering affected individuals from despair and matching the desired risk-return profile.
