Water Investing With ETFs

Will water one day be more valuable than oil? Some investors believe water is a great long term trade because the resource will simply deplete with time. Lucky for you there are easy ways to invest in water right now through ETFs.

I have two water ETFs featured here that should quench your thirst just fine. Perhaps it is time you added water to your investment portfolio.

This Exchange Traded Fund seeks the performance corresponding to the Palisades Water Index and boasts a market capitalization of just over $2 billion.

Interesting play, I wonder what sort of future business opportunities there are in the water industry. Once supply<demand this would be the most crucial commodity on the planet. You can’t live without it! shock
