FIW: Popular Investment Theme Trading At Elevated Valuations

First Trust Water ETF provides exposure to companies in the freshwater treatment and distribution industry. The FIW ETF has a 5-year compounded annual return of 15.0%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index. However, its portfolio is currently trading at 29.3x P/E. While I like the water treatment and distribution investment theme, I am hesitant to invest at current valuations.

FIW: Still Expensive, But This Water ETF Is Flowing In The Right Direction

The First Trust Water ETF holds 36 companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the potable water and wastewater industry. Over the last two years, I have relied on fundamental analysis to justify not buying FIW. In previous reviews, I've noted issues with FIW's valuation, quality, and earnings momentum. FIW has shown improvement on these factors over the last year, and despite it offering solid growth potential, it trades at 23.25x earnings, a rich multiple for the Industrial sector.
