FIW: Massive Water Infrastructure Needs Aren't Enough To Justify A Buy

First Trust Water ETF is comprised of 36 U.S. companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the potable and wastewater industry. Its expense ratio is 0.50%.

FIW's static, market-cap-weighted portfolio results in low turnover but limited improvement in quality, growth, and value metrics since my last review in February.

First Trust Water ETF (FIW) offers diversified exposure to U.S. water-related industrials, benefiting from structural CAPEX tailwinds and rising data center water demand. FIW's tiered weighting structure mitigates concentration risk, providing meaningful mid- and small-cap exposure beyond mega-cap dominance.
