PIO: Water Industry Exposure Is Heavily Diluted

PIO is assigned a strong sell rating due to persistent underperformance versus domestic water ETFs (achieving only 25% of the return of the leading fund over the last eighteen years). The fund offers exposure to the global water sector (i.e., industrials and utilities) versus ownership of the scarce natural asset. Many of PIO's holdings have only small water segments (by their share of revenue), diluting the pure-play water exposure.
