Water ETFs: $111 Billion For Water Infrastructure $FIW

Summary

  • The Biden jobs bill has $111 billion for water infrastructure. An ETF is a good way to play this without a lot of investment in time.
  • There are a wide range of companies that will benefit, mostly large industrials with relatively small water units. There are a few water pure-plays.
  • Despite some problems with bad inclusions, I prefer FIW right now because of its flatter weighting structure.
  • I will follow up on individual companies, and eventually put together a jobs bill portfolio.

ETFs: 5 Funds For Investing In Water, A Vital Resource (FIW)

Summary

  • Water doesn’t typically get the same focus that I put on other utilities like electric and gas companies.
  • Though, that doesn’t mean that investing in water ETFs doesn’t have its own merits; it certainly does as global demand rises, yet supply doesn’t go up.
  • Several of the funds also fit into the ESG investing category that can provide further thematic investing momentum.

Best Long-Term Performance Miscellaneous Sector ETFs 1.2

So, what is a Miscellaneous Sector ETF? Here’s how Morningstar defines this sector: “Miscellaneous sector portfolios invest in specific sectors that do not fit into any of Morningstar’s existing sector categories and for which not enough funds exist to merit the creation of a separate category.” This category mostly contains ETFs that specialize in alternative energy, clean technology and water related companies. Some of the newer ETFs in this category are focused on new or exponential technologies. There are currently 25 ETFs in this category. Fourteen of these ETFs have been available for 10 years or longer. These older 14 ETFs will be the focus of this article.

The oldest ETF in the Miscellaneous Sector category is the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW). As with most of the ETFs in this category, PBW has not performed very well vs an S&P 500 index fund. The ETFs that are focused on water related companies have done well, but the alternative energy ETFs have struggled.

PBW vs S&P 500 index fund: April 2005 – February 2019
