Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2007, the fund manages about 1.9 bn € and charges a TER of 0.65% — 65 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is paid out to investors periodically (distributing).
iShares Global Water (Dist) competes with 175 other products in the same class and region (Equity, Global): it ranks 25th by fund size and 159th by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.65% against a group median of 0.40%. It has been listed since 2007, 19 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 65 € a year, against 40 € for the median product in the category.
Replication is physical and full: the fund actually holds every security in the index, in the index weights.
Income is distributed periodically: it produces cash flow, but reinvesting it is up to you if the goal is capital growth. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
