Global X Clean Water

ETF description

This ETF focuses on companies that are involved in providing clean water and developing water‑related infrastructure. It includes businesses from around the world that are engaged in the water supply chain, ranging from water utilities and technology providers to companies that focus on water treatment and desalination. The fund aims to capture the long‑term demand for water resources, which are essential to both public health and economic development, especially as global water scarcity becomes a pressing issue.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are interested in sustainability and see the importance of water management as a critical global challenge. It could also attract those looking for investment opportunities in sectors that address environmental concerns, specifically the future of clean water supply and infrastructure development.
