Dear Investor, Like most of us, I’m fortunate to live in an area where I don’t think too much about the availability of water. But in other areas of the world, including regions of the United States, the same cannot be said. In Lake Mead, water levels are down 180 feet, which is approximately 36% capacity. Experts are fearful that, without drastic drought relief, the lake will become a “dead pool.” And the federal government is threatening to cut water use by 25% in the most-affected states of Arizona, California, and Nevada. However, in China and other regions of the world, the conditions are even worse. You can blame it on severe, multi-year drought. And while many of us may never experience that kind of hardship, we all are beginning to feel it at the grocery store. The state of California is responsible for about 25% of the nation’s food supply. That means higher prices are going to be with us for a long time. But opportunities present themselves in the midst of crisis, and this is no difference. In this special presentation, we’re looking at seven water stocks that look like smart buys as the world grapples for solutions. In addition to weather-related factors, water stocks will continue to offer a potentially enticing play due to other trends such as the focus on ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) issues. The global water business is valued at approximately $655 billion a year. And while that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the $3 trillion crude oil market, the urgent state of our global water supply makes this a compelling time to invest in water stocks. You can’t change the weather, but you can change how you position your portfolio for global weather concerns. Water stocks are one way to do that.
