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.

  • 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.
