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:
