15th Annual Water Utilities Industry Investor Conference

View Agenda

Publicly traded water utilities companies have long been favored as steady, long-term investments. The future continues to look bright for these stocks given the world’s ever-growing need for clean, safe water and the country’s deteriorating water infrastructure which requires an investment of $500 billion through 2019.

This investor forum will introduce you to the largest publicly traded companies in the water utilities industry. Water utility stocks provide excellent income diversification, long-term growth and CD-beating yields ranging from 2.5 percent to 4 percent.

Attend this popular investment conference to learn firsthand where some of the best investment opportunities are in the water industry today. You’ll hear an outlook for the sector, see presentations from each company’s senior management, and get the unique chance to network during a closing cocktail reception.
