Investing in water

Shared Lunch

Have you thought about investing in a commodity that’s not oil, not gold, but water? The very thing we need to live.

We talk to the chief investment officer of Pathfinder’s Global Water Fund, Paul Brownsey. The issues that spurred the fund’s inception in 2010 are even more acute today as the world grapples with climate change and water infrastructure issues. We look at the options around water investment, including the vexed issue of bottled water.
