Investors focused on long-term mega-trends may find $PHO to be a compelling way to gain exposure to the water industry. Population growth, aging infrastructure, and renewed investment cycles point to a long runway of demand for companies operating across the water value chain. At the same time, water’s essential nature gives the theme defensive characteristics, allowing it to potentially outperform broader markets during periods of economic uncertainty.
In the U.S. and abroad, governments are allocating significant capital toward upgrading water infrastructure as demand accelerates from urbanization, industrial expansion, and technology-driven usage. Smart water solutions ranging from leak detection to efficiency and monitoring technologies are becoming critical in managing scarcity and improving system performance. This shift positions water operators and solution providers well for sustained long-term growth as global water systems modernize.
Choosing among dozens of individual water related companies can be challenging, particularly when the objective is to use the theme as a durable long-term hedge. Invesco’s Water Resources ETF (PHO) provides diversified exposure to the most prominent players in the space without taking on single stock risk. The fund holds names like Ecolab, American Water Works, and Ferguson, along with dozens of others, allowing investors to benefit as attention and capital flow into the water theme as a whole.
Why ETF investing makes sense for the water theme:
For thematic investments like water, ETFs are an efficient way to express a long-term thesis. By using an ETF like PHO, investors gain exposure to the secular growth of water demand while reducing single stock risk, making it a practical vehicle for both defensive positioning and long-term portfolio management.

BEP’s diverse portfolio allows them to operate nearly 34 GW of capacity across hydroelectric, wind, solar, and distributed energy. The hydroelectric segment is particularly important because it is allows them to provide “baseload” power (consistent, 24/7 energy) that is highly valuable in an era where grid stability is a non-negotiable. Furthermore, the company is emerging as a major player in the nuclear and battery storage technology space through their ownership of Westinghouse.
Energy infrastructure is capital-intensive, making companies in the sector highly sensitive to interest rates and regulatory policy. A more accommodative rate environment, combined with reduced regulatory friction, improves project economics and lowers the cost of financing new capacity. This is supportive for the medium to long-term outlook across energy infrastructure.
With the U.S. effectively in an energy arms race, regality easing is expected to help energy infrastructure prRapid growth in AI, data centers, and electrification is driving a surge in power demand, forcing accelerated investment in generation, transmission, and grid reliability. Companies positioned to scale capacity efficiently stand to benefit from this cycle.
