Q: Saw a recent Q/A regarding water ETFs and you did not mention CWW. Owned this for around 8 years and up 88% not including small dividend and satisfied. Put it on chart with PHO and FIW and see it underperforms. Any need to switch?
Thank you

5i Research Answer:

We do not see any pressing need to switch. PHO and FIW's top five holdings vary a bit compared to CWW's which is the likely reason for the difference in performance. The reason we recommended other options over CWW is due to its smaller size at $310M net assets and higher expense ratio at 0.66%. CWW has displayed a lag over the last five years to PHO and FIW, but it has outperformed PHO on a ten year basis.
