Description: FIW Water

The First Trust Water ETF (FIW) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track an index composed of small-, mid-, and large-capitalization companies operating in the potable water and wastewater industry. To maintain this focus, the fund invests at least 90% of its net assets in the securities that comprise the underlying index, which is designed by Clean Edge. Companies included in the index must derive a substantial portion of their revenues from water-related activities, giving the fund concentrated exposure to the water utility and infrastructure sector. As a thematic ETF in the natural resources category, FIW provides investors with targeted access to a specialized industry that includes water treatment, distribution, and wastewater management services.

Headlines to Watch Out For
