Geberit Geberit is a global manufacturer of sanitary technology. The company is a world market leader in the sanitary sector and represented all over the world. However, Geberit still generates almost 90 % of its sales within Europe but in the last couple of years the management has continually repeated to reduce this 'dependency' on Europe. Geberit is particularly active in the areas of water disposal systems, pipeline systems, house drainage systems, rinsing systems and installation systems. In February 2016 Geberit completed the takeover of the Finnish sanitary ceramic producer Sanitec. The takeover was aimed at increasing the presence in the bathroom equipment area and expanding the product range through bathroom ceramics. Currently, the company is active in almost 50 countries, including several African countries. Taking into account the still lacking basic sanitary infrastructure in Africa, Geberit could benefit strongly from a sustainable investment in sanitation across this region. Sanitary - GEBN:SW

Duxton Water Ltd Duxton Water is an investment company which owns and manages a portfolio of water entitlements and thus offers investors a direct exposure to the Australian water market. In short, Duxton Water just owns water entitlements and leases them to agricultural businesses. As a result, it generates regular and predictable revenue streams via water entitlement leases with primary producers located across Australia. However, the company's main operations are focussed on the Southern Murray Darling Basin region. The target for Duxton Water is to have 70-80% of the entitlements in long-term leases with irrigators. The company will benefit from drought conditions that are affecting regional areas but it will also suffer from too heavy rainfalls for a longer period of time. In general, drought conditions across Australia continue to cause problems for regional areas with farmers left with little choice but to buy the necessary water which has pushes up the price of water rights. Currently, Duxton Water is exclusively listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and has no intention for a secondary listing in another country. However, it is still possible to buy the shares as a foreign investor, but this is also associated with higher costs. Water Entitlements / Water Rights - ASX:D2O

Sanitation
Geberit Geberit is a global manufacturer of sanitary technology. The company is a world market leader in the sanitary sector and represented all over the world.

Geberit is particularly active in the areas of water disposal systems, pipeline systems, house drainage systems, rinsing systems and installation systems. In February 2016 Geberit completed the takeover of the Finnish sanitary ceramic producer Sanitec. The takeover was aimed at increasing the presence in the bathroom equipment area and expanding the product range through bathroom ceramics. Currently, the company is active in almost 50 countries, including several African countries. Taking into account the still lacking basic sanitary infrastructure in Africa, Geberit could benefit strongly from a sustainable investment in sanitation across this region. Switzerland - GEBN:SW

For example, toilets are produced that consume significantly less water than models from other manufacturers. Toto is active through subsidiaries worldwide. By many people seen as a big advantage, Toto Ltd. also operates in countries such as India, Indonesia or Vietnam, where the average sanitation of a private household is still below the western standards. But according to the UN, a huge amount of investments are urgently needed in the coming years to stop diseases caused by a lack of sanitation facilities. Japan - 5332:JP

Water Entitlements / Rights
Duxton Water Ltd Duxton Water is an investment company which owns and manages a portfolio of water entitlements and thus offers investors a direct exposure to the Australian water market. In short, Duxton Water just owns water entitlements and leases them to agricultural businesses. As a result, it generates regular and predictable revenue streams via water entitlement leases with primary producers located across Australia. However, the company's main operations are focussed on the Southern Murray Darling Basin region. The target for Duxton Water is to have 70-80% of the entitlements in long-term leases with irrigators. The company will benefit from drought conditions that are affecting regional areas but it will also suffer from too heavy rainfalls for a longer period of time. In general, drought conditions across Australia continue to cause problems for regional areas with farmers left with little choice but to buy the necessary water which has pushes up the price of water rights. Currently, Duxton Water is exclusively listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and has no intention for a secondary listing in another country. However, it is still possible to buy the shares as a foreign investor, but this is also associated with higher costs. Australia - ASX:D2O
