Awarded the €uro Fund Award again

The Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund has received a €uro Fund Award for the best perfor­mance in 2024. The fund won the second time in the “Water equity fund” category. It beat 18 funds & ETFs in the same category and was the most successful water fund over one year with an overall perfor­mance of +16% and outper­for­mance of +2.5% (R1 EUR) compared to the runner-up.

Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund outper­forms all water funds

2024 was a challen­ging year for the water sector. In this diffi­cult market environ­ment, the Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund outper­formed all other water funds and ended the year as the top water fund with a perfor­mance of +16% (EUR retail tranche: LU0319773478)

“Our invest­ment process, which focuses on funda­mental factors and the sustaina­bi­lity perfor­mance of compa­nies, has once again proved its worth,” says our fund manager, Stefan Schütz. Despite political and economic uncer­tain­ties, he is positive about the future. Not only are policy adjust­ments highlighting the importance of water invest­ments, but more and more compa­nies are also recog­nising water as a priority issue. The main drivers of the positive outlook for 2025 are invest­ments in the moder­ni­sa­tion of infras­truc­ture and in the private market sector. The latter is expected to become incre­a­singly involved in finan­cing water-related infras­truc­ture, driven by robust demand for AI-driven invest­ments in data centres, semicon­ductor manufac­tu­ring and power genera­tion facili­ties. These will require signi­fi­cant invest­ments in water techno­lo­gies and pave the way for a promi­sing future. This is because invest­ments in the water sector will continue to be of great importance in the future.

Tareno’s water fund meets this importance and the resul­ting needs of diffe­rent investor groups by offering broad acces­si­bi­lity and flexi­bi­lity. The fund is available in diffe­rent curren­cies, with invest­ments starting at 1 EUR, and offers suitable share classes for both private and insti­tu­tional investors. An overview can be found here:
