Q: Quick follow up to my CWW Q.

I see a response to another question on CWW immediately following mine. In the answer, you mention FIW as another Water focused ETF to consider and that it has had better performance over time. So should I sell CWW and buy FIW? If I bought FIW and kept my CWW, is there too much overlap?

Thanks again for your prompt responses.

Cheers.

Q: I have held CWW for some time, believing that water issues are becoming a more critical global issue and that the diversification of an ETF would be a better approach. I realize the market, including industrials, has been difficult this year but have been somewhat surprised at the extent of the drop in CWW's share price. I note that you had rated it only as "Good" in a question asked by another member recently. In your opinion, are there better ways to approach investing in the water theme ?
Thank you, as always.
