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 directly in financial institutions to scale water and sanitation lending, enabling them to expand microloans and on-lend to households and WSS (water supply and sanitation) businesses delivering water and sanitation products and services. We also invest in infrastructure projects and growth-stage companies to support safely managed water and sanitation systems and strengthen climate resilience for vulnerable populations.
We provide opportunities for investors to make responsible investment choices that have a multifold impact for millions.

Proven capability in emerging markets.
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.
