Our Journey
Our Expertise
WaterEquity stands apart from other impact-focused asset managers due to our deep understanding and singular focus of the water and sanitation sector in emerging markets.
Our team emerged out of Water.org, a renowned, international water non-profit that built the case or microfinance for water and sanitation. This helped position us as experts in mobilizing private capital for the water and sanitation needs of low-income families.
Our Investment Management team is comprised of individuals with decades of banking and financial institution experience and a deep understanding of the barriers low-income communities face in gaining access to water and sanitation. This combination enables us to seek investment opportunities with a positive, multifold social impact across many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
