First Trust Water ETF

FIW tracks an index of the 36 largest US-listed water companies, weighted equally within five tiers.

Looking for broad exposure to the Industrials - Water segment of the equity market? You should consider the First Trust Water ETF (FIW), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 05/08/2007.

Should You Invest in the First Trust Water ETF (FIW)?

FIW provides dedicated exposure to 36 companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the potable and wastewater industry. The ETF was launched in May 2007. FIW has outperformed SPY since its May 2007 launch. It also has a higher earnings growth rate and a smaller valuation premium compared to my July and October 2022 reviews.

FIW tracks 36 stocks that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the potable and wastewater industry. It has a 0.53% expense ratio and just over $1B in AUM.
