Clean Water & Waste
UCITS ETF
Fund Vision
The CIRCA5000 Clean Water and Waste UCITS ETF (C5KW) is more than just a water fund. Companies in this fund have been hand selected because they sit at the cutting edge of the most innovative waste solutions, water preservation techniques and circular economic systems. In many countries, we take clean water for granted, but 2 billion people globally live in water-stressed countries (WHO). The problem doesn’t stop at clean water. Inadequate waste management leads to widespread air, waterways and soil pollution. This fund seeks to invest in companies at the forefront of water and waste innovation, developing new technologies and systems to protect our resources and support a circular economy. C5KW aims to deliver investment results corresponding to the impak CIRCA5000 Clean Water and Waste Impact Index.

CIRCA5000's strategy is to invest in companies that manufacture products, or offer the services that generate a positive environmental or social impact. For example, the homeowner who buys solar panels for their home is ultimately responsible for the positive impact generated and the company that manufactured them is the facilitator. Therefore, by investing in these companies, CIRCA5000 supports users to generate a positive impact, but we are of course, not responsible for it on our own.
This impact is therefore 'associated' rather than direct. We source our data from two providers, Net Purpose and impak Analytics, to ensure we have the most robust and complete data possible.
Data is annual and based on the latest company reports, with some additional products and services estimates provided by Net Purpose.
