Water funds

[digdeep]

I've heard a lot of talk recently about water as a solid commodity investment (no puns on liquid assets please!!!). Has anyone heard of how best to approach this. ie what sort of breakdown of water related assets within a fund should I be looking for?

There is an ETF that trades on water related investments in the US. The stock ticker is PHO. Google it and you should be able to learn more. I have no idea if it is good or bad.

If you mean Mark Shipman, in his book from last year he mentioned the Water Transportation sector which was a good call. Over the past year it has a return 5 times that of the S&P500. Some stocks in the sector have doubled and one has risen over 800%. It was a good call he made.

As regards water ETFs, also look at CGW, it's a relatively new one.
