Article published on September 8, 2025.
Tareno has been named “Best Asset Manager in Switzerland” six times in a row and is one of the proven asset management experts in the water sector. The Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund was recently awarded a 5‑star rating by Morningstar and has delivered an impressive performance of +304% (W EUR, as of July 31, 2025) since its launch in January 2008.
Water is not a trend, but a permanent growth market
Global water consumption has increased tenfold since 1900, while the supply of water has remained unchanged. This growing imbalance is exacerbated by population growth, climate change, and urbanization. According to a study by the water research institute EAWAG, 4.4 billion people already lack reliable access to drinking water. Investment in technology and infrastructure is therefore urgently needed. Water use has been part of human life for centuries – supply and treatment are fundamental tasks for every society. Today, growing demand and climate change are forcing us to consistently protect this resource. As water remains indispensable, new technologies and systems are needed to ensure its responsible use. Water is therefore not a trend, but a permanent growth market, driven by strong structural factors. For long-term investors, there is no way around it.

Focus on small and mid caps
Since 2007, the Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund has been giving investors access to one of the most important markets of the future: water technologies.
