Document summary
Water is a sustainability issue par excellence. It is also an attractive investment theme. Bank Sarasin has assembled a universe of companies that make a sustainable contribution to water supply and wastewater treatment. As well as utilities, the sustainable water universe also includes technology companies that manufacture components for water supply infrastructure, as well as service providers and firms from water- intensive sectors that distinguish themselves by their sustainable use of water. In the last five years the sustainable water universe has easily outperformed the global equity market (MSCI World Index).
