The First Trust Water ETF (FIW) commits at least 90% of its net assets, including any investment borrowings, to the securities that constitute its benchmark index.

Key fund data: ticker FIW; ETF structure; domiciled in the United States; classified under the Natural Resources category.
Industry context: Global water demand is projected to rise roughly 20 % by 2030, driven by population growth and stricter quality standards. In the United States, projected water-infrastructure spending exceeds $1 trillion over the next decade, supporting higher capex budgets for utilities and treatment firms. A leading performance indicator for the sector is total water-utility capital expenditures, which have grown at an average annual rate of about 4 % over the past five years.
