Water stress is
projected to increase in
every continent,
escalating “liquidity
risks of the H20 variety”
according to the CFA
Institute.
The Climate Crisis is a Water CrisisWater stress poses serious risks to businesses and investors

41% of assets
owned by MSCI
ACWI companies
are in high water
stress regions.

• 9 out of the 10 worst global risks are linked to water
• Investors increasingly use water risk as a proxy for climate risk
• Water stewardship will impact future earnings
• Winners manage water efficiently - Losers mismanage their water resources

What is Water Risk?Water Risk directly impacts the financials of nearly all companies
• Water Risk Is:– Future negative earnings impact
– Environmental
– Ubiquitous across all sectors
– Unaccounted for in Benchmarks
• Financial Risks– Operational
– Reputational Risk
– Regulatory Risk
– Litigation Risk
• Water Risk Drivers:– Climate change / climatic events
– Failing infrastructure
– Pollution
– Weak regulations
Investors who fail to incorporate Water Risk into their
portfolios face significant future underperformance

Why Now?Water Security: A Mega-Theme – UN Sustainable Development Goal 6
Thomas Schumann Capital, June 2021
• First-mover opportunity that is aligned with U.S. SEC and ESMA MiFID II legislative frameworks
specifically re. Climate risk & ESG integration
• Existing specialist water thematics are not focused on‒ Water Security, Water Stewardship, UN SDG 6
‒ Alignment with policy makers and regulators

Why Now? Water Security Remains at the Top of Global News
Thomas Schumann Capital, June 2021
“As a theme, water is absolutely compelling, clean water access is “a huge problem that we’re not talking about”. While
thematic funds were among the big winners of 2020, the returns of water-themed funds were in the low single digits.
Water-themed funds that are currently available have heavy exposure to utility companies, rather than providing a way
to invest in long-term solutions to water scarcity.”
Kenneth Lamont, Senior Analyst for Passive Funds Research, Morningstar Europe – Financial Times 21 January 2021.
“How a company addresses water risks is vital information for investors. Corporate water security transparency is a
fundamental step in the transition to a water-secure world.“ CDP Global Water Report 2020
“Net-zero means water too, for Corporations serious about climate risk. Investors are pushing food, apparel, energy,
chemicals, pharma and mining companies to address water security in their strategies for a net-zero economy.”
ImpactAlpha - 3 March 2021
SEC Announces Enforcement Task Force Focused on Climate and ESG Issues
“Climate risks and sustainability are critical issues for the investing public and our capital markets.”
SEC Press Release - 5 March, 2021
“Climate change indices and ETFs are in great demand by major investors such as sovereign wealth funds, insurance
companies and pension funds.“ justETF.com - 28 February, 2021
“Companies and investors are significantly exposed to water risk, especially in the US and Europe where these risks
are strongly undervalued.” Dr. Upmanu Lall, Department Chair Columbia University Department of Earth &
Environmental Engineering; Senior Research Scientist, International Research Institute for Climate & Society

Expert Institutional ResearchDWS Research Institute: A Transformational Framework for Water Risk1 (November, 2020)
Thomas Schumann Capital, June 2021
• The 2030 water targets outlined by the UN requiring $670 billion of annual outlay will most likely not be met
without stronger new actions.
• Water-related targets were ‘largely missed’ in 2020 with many displaying a deteriorating trend.
• The investment community must address water risk. However, they lack the information to assess ‘water’
risk, as well as understanding how water risk impacts portfolio performance.
• Equities provide the greatest progress in water and DWS identifies four product approaches:
o Thematic Equity: investing solely in companies associated with the “water” theme
Higher risk, poor returns don’t address water risk, SEC and MiFID II or SDG 6
o Positive Approaches: investing in companies that drive better water stewardship
Limits engagement with poor water stewardship managements
o Engagement: investors influence corporate water stewardship by engaging directly with company management
Requires investment in higher risk companies which can hurt performance
o Risk Control: investing in the overall market by reducing exposure to stocks with higher water risk
Best of both worlds, facilitating engagement, reducing water footprint and providing sustainable returns

Investors continue to
pour money into a false
water narrative that
embraces utilities,

as drivers of “Clean

that their investments
are not transformative,

or addressing water

1. How do the TSC Water Security Indices differ from other Water Indices in the market?Existing water indices are highly concentrated (30-50 companies) and are limited to investing solely in companies that are in the water industry (manufacture
water purification/recycling products and water utilities.) Their scope provides little diversification, scalability and no measurement of water risk. The TSC Water
Security Indices are the only indices that invest across all sectors while incorporating their proprietary water risk measures.
2. Why does the Index include so many companies rather than simply target "best" water stewardship?The TSC Water Security Indices apply a comprehensive approach to ensure that index membership best reflects large capitalisation equities across all sectors.
This results in much higher correlation to equity markets while meaningfully reducing the water footprint vs. the benchmark.
3. Why do the TSC Water Security Indices exclude gambling, tobacco and defence contractors?Companies from these industries are generally considered unethical and unsustainable investments and in order to adhere to ESG criteria, the TSC Water
Security Indices exclude these companies as a matter of compliance.
4. Why do the TSC Water Security Indices exclude the worst ESG/SDG companies?Companies with the lowest ESG/SDG Combined Ratings are considered to be non-compliant with UN Sustainability and ESG Principles.
5. What is the source of the TSC water risk metrics?The TSC Water Security Indices source all raw metrics from Refinitiv, who are the market leader in the provision of this data. As the key input to index
rebalancing, TSC apply proprietary techniques in order to quantify water risk at the company level.
6. Are water metrics required to be reported by companies?Water measures are reported by many companies in their annual report and other public filings. While there are no regulatory requirements for companies to
provide this information, more and more companies are reporting their water usage and stewardship each year in response to public pressure. As the focus on
Climate at the company level increases, the number of companies including water metrics is expected to increase. The TSC Water Security Indices help to
engage with those companies who do not report which TSC believes will incentivise better reporting.
7. How many companies report water measures today?594 of the 600 largest US companies report at least some water measures. In the Eurozone, 242 of the largest 250 companies report on some water measures.
The number of water measures reported by companies is increasing and is expected to increase as further pressure is applied to managements to provide more
water data.

solicitation can only be made by means of the delivery of a Confidential Memorandum, which contains a description of the significant risks involved in such an investment. All figures are estimated and unaudited unless otherwise noted and are
shown net of all expenses, management fees and estimated incentive allocations. All figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, where applicable. Actual returns may differ from the reported results due to differences in
contribution dates, fee structures and new issue eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please note the following with respect to investment in indices created by the Firm: Investments in the indices are meant for sophisticated investors and
involve a high degree of risk. Investors can lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Investment returns may be volatile. Investments in underlying investment wrappers linked to the Water Indices may not be diversified. Investment
products linked to the Water Indices may have substantial fees and expenses which may offset profits. There may be no secondary market for interests in investment wrappers linked to the Water Indices and none may develop.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT COMPARABLE Any performance data presented in this presentation may or may not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings as stated within, and does not reflect the deduction of expenses,
management fees and incentive fees and allocations. The TSC Water Security Indices went live on 4 January, 2021 and as such, performance prior to that date has been retrospectively calculated by using an application of the index
methodology going back in time. Furthermore, this process, known as “back-testing” may not represent how the TSC Water Security Indices would have actually behaved had they been live in the past. Back-testing can introduce bias to the
performance of an index and can also avail of the benefits of hindsight. The Firm believes that any performance shown on was generated with an investment philosophy and methodology similar to that described in the official Index
Methodology located on the Index Administrator’s official website. Furthermore, the performance discussed herein reflects that of the Water Indices for a limited period of time and does not reflect performance in different economic or market
cycles. You should not assume that the Water Indices will experience returns, if any, comparable to those described herein. The performance results have not been compiled, reviewed or audited by an independent accountant. These indices
and benchmarks are not provided for comparative purposes, but only as examples of general market performance. Due to the differences between the composition of a fund's portfolio and these indices and benchmarks, the Firm cautions
potential investors that no such index or other benchmark is directly comparable to any fund.
