Our Mission:

To build a global capital market that accelerates universal access to safe water and sanitation.

WaterEquity is an asset manager exclusively focused on solving one of the most urgent issues of our time—the global water and sanitation crisis.

What We Do

WaterEquity identifies investment opportunities in the water and sanitation sector that seek to align the potential for risk-adjusted returns with verifiable social impact.1 More specifically, we invest in financial institutions to help them scale their water and sanitation lending portfolios. We also invest in enterprises and infrastructure in emerging markets that deliver safe water and sanitation solutions to low-income communities.

We provide opportunities for investors to make responsible and sustainable investment choices that have a multifold impact across many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, such as driving economic growth, supporting healthy communities and ecosystems, enhancing resilience to climate change, and promoting gender equality.

Our Journey

WEQ - 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.
