Global Water Price Index (GWPI)
H2O Securities developed the Global Water Price Index (GWPI) to establish a global water pricing benchmark, covering substantially more assets than similar indices and informing pricing strategies for our financing solutions.
Why is the GWPI Important?
The GWPI is a key financial benchmark for water-focused investors, allowing for risk management, speculation, and portfolio benchmarking in the growing water sector, driven by global scarcity. It tracks over 100 water-related companies on more than 19 global exchanges.
​
​The GWPI acts as a versatile base for various financial instruments, offering broad accessibility and market depth.

EU Benchmark Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, as amended
The GWPI is subject to regulatory oversight under the European Union Benchmark Regulation. We have chosen to adhere to this comprehensive regulatory framework to ensure the highest standards of transparency and reliability.
The GWPI is not yet approved as an index and we are striving to achieve the appropriate Administrator certifications to provide institutional-grade compliance.
How is the GWPI Calculated?
The GWPI is built on a strong foundation of five sub-indices, calculated four times per day using a price volume weighted average formula. The result is normalized to a 1.000-point base value.
